Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh plums and sloes in the Americas showed considerable volatility in volume between 2018 and 2023. After a period of relative stability around 980 thousand tons, consumption dropped sharply to 877 thousand tons in 2020 before recovering to over 1 million tons in 2021. A subsequent decline brought the market volume down to 957 thousand tons in 2022, followed by a more severe contraction to 425 thousand tons in 2023.

The dramatic reduction in market volume in 2023 occurred alongside significant supply chain challenges reported across the region, which limited product availability. Concurrently, increasing health awareness and a marked consumer shift towards 'better-for-you' food options helped maintain demand pressure, supporting a rise in the market's total value to 2.3 billion US dollars that year despite the lower physical volume.
