The import of residues of starch manufacture and similar residues into Canada is projected to decline steadily from 78.596 million kilograms in 2024 to 75.154 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a cumulative decrease of approximately 4.37% over the forecasted period. Year-on-year percentage decrease averages around 1-1.5%. It is important to note that data for 2023 is unavailable; therefore, comparisons to the immediate past year cannot be made.
Future trends to monitor include:
- Potential changes in global supply and demand dynamics for starch by-products.
- Impact of trade policies and tariffs on import behaviors.
- Technological advancements in residue processing and utilization.
