The import of frozen whole ducks, geese, and guinea fowls to Canada in 2023 was recorded at 510.00 thousand kilograms. Forecasted data indicates a gradual decline with imports expected to reach 496.05 thousand kilograms in 2024 and continuing to decrease to 427.44 thousand kilograms by 2028. This reflects a year-on-year drop of approximately 3.57% from 2023 to 2024 and an overall five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -3.38% showing consistent reduction in imports over the projected period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Changes in domestic production levels of ducks, geese, and guinea fowls, which could further influence import needs.
- Potential adjustments in dietary preferences among Canadian consumers that might drive demand for alternative proteins.
- Policy changes affecting import tariffs or trade regulations which could impact import volumes.
- Global supply chain disruptions, such as those from pandemics or geopolitical tensions, affecting availability and cost.
