The data shows a gradual decline in fresh banana consumption per capita in Canada from 2024 to 2028, with values starting at 14.53 kilograms in 2024 and decreasing to 14.2 kilograms by 2028. This represents a consistent annual decrease of approximately 0.6% to 0.7% each year. The consumption in 2023 was not specified, but given this trend, it likely aligns with this pattern of mild decline. Over five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is negative, reflecting this decreasing consumption.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in consumer preferences toward alternative fruits, the impact of retail price changes, and the influence of health and environmental trends on banana consumption. Monitoring these factors could provide insights into any deviations from the current declining trend.
