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.
