Earlier Report Observations

The apricot market in Canada displayed considerable volatility in volume between 2018 and 2023. Starting at 3 824 tons in 2018, consumption surged by 15% to a peak of 4 409 tons in 2019. This was followed by a sharp 19% contraction to 3 581 tons in 2020. A partial recovery to 4 028 tons occurred in 2021, but the market fell again by 22% to 3 154 tons in 2022, before stabilizing with a modest 6% increase to 3 347 tons in 2023.

This fluctuation was driven by changes in both domestic output and imports. Canadian apricot production trended downward from 1 067 tons in 2018 to 802 tons in 2023, with a low of 729 tons in 2022. Imports, which form the bulk of supply, mirrored the market's instability, rising to 3 495 tons in 2019 before falling to 2 428 tons in 2022 and recovering slightly thereafter.
