In 2023, the import of lard, other pig fat, and poultry fat to Canada stood at an estimated volume of 7.5 million kilograms. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decline in imports, starting at 7.2 million kilograms in 2024 and decreasing to 6.3 million kilograms by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decline, with the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period being negative.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential changes in domestic production capabilities could impact import demand.
- Nutrition trends and health concerns may affect consumer demand for these fats.
- Trade policies and tariffs could influence future import volumes and prices.
