In 2023, Canada imported approximately 70 million kilograms of flour or meal of dried legumes. The forecasted data shows a steady increase from 76.61 million kilograms in 2024 to 91.043 million kilograms by 2028. This represents a consistent year-on-year growth, with variations reflecting a positive trend in demand. For the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a robust average annual increase.

Future trends to watch for:

Rising consumer interest in plant-based proteins may further drive import growth.
Trade policies and international relations could impact import levels and sourcing strategies.
Innovations in food technology may lead to increased demand and new product development.
