The projected import of fresh or chilled garlic to the US shows a steady upward trend from $210.46 million in 2024 to $226.49 million in 2028. This translates to an annual growth rate of about 1.96% from 2024 onward. Despite stable imports, this growth is relatively modest compared to other food commodities. Data for 2023 shows that imports stood somewhat below 2024 levels, highlighting a consistent increase year-on-year.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impacts of global supply chain fluctuations.
- Changes in domestic garlic production affecting import levels.
- Shifts in consumer preferences toward local produce.
- Possible trade policy alterations impacting import tariffs.
