The consumption of fresh and processed white potatoes in Canada is forecasted to grow from 2.4 million metric tons in 2024 to 2.45 million metric tons by 2028. This demonstrates a steady increase, with a year-on-year growth rate of approximately 0.83% by 2025, and a consistent rise in subsequent years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is about 0.62%. For context, in 2023, the consumption stood slightly under 2.4 million metric tons, marking a continuous upward trend.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of dietary shifts towards healthier foods, potential agricultural innovations, and economic factors affecting the agricultural sector. Additionally, watch for changes in consumer preferences and possible trade policies that may influence production and import/export strategies.
