By 2050, the landscape will be profoundly influenced by climate change, agricultural automation, sustainability, and access to water resources. The following predictions highlight potential global leaders:
Canada
Canada could emerge as a world leader, especially in a context of climate change that will make its conditions more favorable for blueberry production. The expansion of arable land in northern regions, coupled with advanced greenhouse cultivation technologies, will allow Canada to compete globally.
China
By 2050, China could consolidate its position as the largest blueberry exporter. Its technological capabilities, combined with supportive government policies and highly developed infrastructure, will allow it to dominate both production and export.
Brazil
Brazil, with its vast territory and diverse climate, could become a major player in blueberry production.

The adoption of advanced agricultural technologies and the expansion of production in non-traditional areas will allow it to supply markets in Latin America, Europe, and Asia.
Sub-Saharan African countries
Sub-Saharan Africa, with its abundant arable land and a young population that could drive agricultural innovation, could become a new hub for blueberry production. Countries like Kenya and Zambia could emerge as key exporters if they can overcome challenges in infrastructure and market access.
