Canada Fruits and Vegetables Market Analysis

The Canada Fruits And Vegetables Market size is estimated at USD 13.70 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 15.89 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 3.01% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

• The growing season in Canada is very short. Despite the relatively short growing season, Canadian farmers produce a wide range of fruits and vegetables, including apples, grapes, cherries, peaches, blueberries, cranberries, strawberries, and raspberries, and vegetables such as tomatoes, onions, spinach, lettuce, and asparagus.
• According to the Government of Canada, in 2022, carrots, onions, tomatoes, and lettuce were the major vegetable crops produced in the country. These vegetables accounted for more than 45% of the overall vegetable production in the country. The demand for fresh produce has been growing on a large scale because of increased healthier eating trends for consumers. Thus, the increase in health consciousness is driving market growth.
• However, harsh climatic conditions like extremely cold climates may also prevent production, restraining market growth. Canada relies heavily on imports to meet its fruit and vegetable needs, particularly during winter months. The organic segment within the fruits and vegetables market has seen significant growth, with organic produce accounting for approximately 7% of total fruit and vegetable sales in Canada in 2023. This growth is driven by consumers' concerns over pesticides and chemicals and the environmental impact of conventional farming practices, with consumers increasingly opting for locally grown produce, which is perceived as fresher and more sustainable.
• Therefore, the fruits and vegetables market in Canada is poised for continued growth, driven by health-conscious consumers, the popularity of organic produce, and an increasing preference for locally sourced and convenient products.
