In 2023, Canada produced 8.78 million metric tons of barley. The forecast data shows a gradual decline from 8.69 million metric tons in 2024 to 8.32 million metric tons in 2028. This indicates a consistent downward trend with an average annual decrease of approximately 1% over the five-year period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Impact of climate change on barley yield, potentially influencing production levels.
Shifts in global demand for barley, especially from the brewing industry.
Advancements in agricultural technology that could improve yield efficiency.
Potential changes in trade policies affecting Canada's barley export market.
