In 2023, Canadian lamb production stood at 17.0 thousand metric tons. The forecasts for 2024 to 2028 show a steady, albeit modest, increase in production, with each year seeing a slight rise in output culminating in 17.27 thousand metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year growth rates indicate a consistent upward trend but remain below 1% annually, reflecting a stable market environment.
Future trends to watch include:
- The impact of domestic consumer preferences shifting towards local and sustainable meats.
- Potential advancements or shifts in agricultural technology that could enhance productivity.
- Any trade agreements or international market developments affecting lamb imports and exports.
