The forecast for the import of fresh plums to the US from 2024 to 2028 shows a moderate growth trend. The import value increases steadily from $61.454 million in 2024 to $64.333 million in 2028. Year-on-year growth rates remain consistent, reflecting a stable demand and supply cycle. In 2023, actual imports were lower, making the forecasted increase notable. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period is indicative of a gradual increase in imports.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from climate change on plum yields, trade policy shifts that could affect tariffs on imports, and evolving consumer preferences towards more diverse fruit options, which could influence import dynamics.
