In 2023, Canada's import of fresh or chilled celery stood at 81.4 million kilograms. From 2024 onwards, forecasts indicate a gradual decline in imports, starting at 80.886 million kilograms in 2024 and decreasing steadily to 78.992 million kilograms by 2028. These figures represent annual declines of 0.6%, 0.6%, 0.6%, and 0.6% respectively, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -0.6% over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in consumer demand preferences related to health and wellness, fluctuations in domestic celery production, trade agreements, and any shifts due to climate change impacts on agriculture. These factors could significantly impact the import volume in the coming years.
