The consumption of dry Lima beans in the US shows a slight downward trend from 2024 to 2028, decreasing modestly from 0.079 pounds in 2024 and 2025 to 0.077 pounds by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of approximately 1.27% from 2025 to 2026 and 1.28% from 2026 to 2027. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2023 reflects a very mild decline in consumption.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in dietary habits towards plant-based proteins, which could potentially stabilize or reverse the consumption decline, and impacts from agricultural policies or climate change that might affect supply and pricing. Additionally, increasing awareness of the nutritional benefits of dry beans could influence demand positively.
