The forecasted import of fresh blueberries in Canada is expected to increase from 63.47 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 70.11 thousand metric tons in 2028. This represents a consistent year-on-year growth trend: 2.6% from 2024 to 2025, 2.5% from 2025 to 2026, 2.5% from 2026 to 2027, and 2.4% from 2027 to 2028. Over the last two years, this exhibits a cumulative increase of approximately 5%. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period is around 2.5%, indicating steady growth in blueberry imports.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential impact of climate change and agricultural practices on blueberry yields in export countries.
