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.
