The import of edible fruit or nut trees, shrubs, and bushes into the US is forecasted to rise steadily from 2.7281 million kilograms in 2024 to 2.8294 million kilograms in 2028. As of 2023, the import volume stood slightly lower, making these increases notable as part of a steady growth trend. The year-on-year percentage increase from 2024 onwards is modest but consistent, indicating a stable demand.
Key trends to monitor include:
- Potential impacts of climate change on both domestic production and import needs.
- Shifts in US consumer preferences towards more diverse and exotic fruits or nuts.
- Trade policy changes that might influence import dynamics, especially with key partner countries.
