The forecast for the import of fresh or chilled leeks to the US shows a gradual increase from 2024 to 2028, rising from 10.93 million kilograms in 2024 to 11.538 million kilograms in 2028. The actual figure for 2023 was not provided, but an extrapolation suggests a steady upward trend. Year-on-year growth from 2024 onwards indicates a consistent rate of increase, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecasted period maintaining around 1.35%.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards locally sourced produce and any trade policy changes that could impact import levels. Additionally, environmental factors affecting leek production in main supplier countries could also influence future import patterns.
