In 2023, the import volume of fresh melons in Canada stood at 342.97 thousand metric tons. Looking at the forecast from 2024 to 2028, a gradual decline in melon imports is expected with a minor year-on-year decrease, resulting in a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately -0.5% over this period. This steady downward trend indicates a slight but consistent reduction in import volume.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential shifts in consumer preferences toward local or other alternative fruits.
- Changes in trade policies or tariffs that might influence import dynamics.
- Fluctuations in global melon production and climate impacts on supply chains.
