Ready-to-eat (RTE) and convenience foods refer to pre-prepared or easy-to-prepare food products designed to save consumers time and effort during meal preparation.

For instance, in July 2025, according to the Agriculture and Agri-Food Department Canada, a Canada-based government department, in 2024, the food and beverage processing sector remained Canada’s largest manufacturing industry by production value, generating $173.4 billion in goods. This represented 20.3% of all manufacturing sales and contributed 1.6% to the national GDP. Exports of processed food and beverage products reached a record $59.8 billion, an increase of 3.8% from 2023, and accounted for 34.5% of the industry’s total production value. Therefore, the growth in ready-to-eat (RTE) and convenience foods is driving the growth of the ready-to-use curry sales market.
