In 2023, the supply of canned apples in Canada stood at approximately 2.96 thousand metric tons. Forecasts indicate a consistent annual decline in supply from 2024 to 2028, with values decreasing from 2.89 to 2.61 thousand metric tons. This translates to an average yearly decrease of around 1.4%, indicating a significant downward trend in the canned apples supply.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impact of climate change on apple yields and quality, affecting supply.
- Shifts in consumer preferences towards fresh or alternative apple products.
- Possible changes in trade policies influencing import/export dynamics.
