Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the fresh apple market in Canada contracted from 595 thousand tonnes to 553 thousand tonnes, with a slight uptick in 2020 failing to reverse the overall downward trend.

A sharp 10.3% decline in marketed production in 2021 drove the market volume down by 9.6% to 500 thousand tonnes, accompanied by reduced per-person availability indicating weaker consumption. The market saw a modest recovery to 517 thousand tonnes in 2022.

In 2023, the market fell further to 468 thousand tonnes as production dropped and imports contracted markedly. While orchard area in Quebec remained stable, the broader national supply tightened, and import volumes continued to decrease into 2024.
