In 2023, the re-import of fresh or chilled garlic to Canada stood at 3.48 thousand US dollars. Forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady decline, with values decreasing from 3.44 thousand US dollars in 2024 to 3.26 thousand in 2028. Year-on-year variations suggest a gradual decrease averaging around 1.3% over these years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the period from 2024 to 2028 reflects a decline, reinforcing this downward trend.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Fluctuations in garlic production and prices globally, primarily influenced by major exporting countries.
- Changes in Canadian import policies or agreements affecting re-importation.
- Domestic demand shifts influenced by consumer preferences or culinary trends.
