In 2023, Canada exported fresh plums with a value standing at a certain point. However, forecasts from 2024 to 2028 indicate a significant downturn, with exports dropping to 0.0 metric tons annually. This suggests a complete discontinuation of the export market for Canadian fresh plums over the forecasted period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential diversification of agricultural exports due to changing global demand and trade policies.
- Impacts of climate change on plum cultivation influencing domestic production volume and quality.
- Policy shifts in international trade agreements that may either reopen or continuously restrict export opportunities.
