Saskatchewan exports to U.S. in 2022 exceeded $29B: Province

Saskatchewan sent more exports to the United States in 2022 than ever before.

In a media release Wednesday, the provincial government said exports to the U.S. last year reached an all-time high of $29.3 billion.

“Saskatchewan’s exports continue to climb as we export the food, fuel and fertilizer that a growing world needs. This is particularly true with our province’s largest trading partner, the United States, which have now surpassed $29 billion,” Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison said in a release.

“This is yet another example of how Saskatchewan resources are the driver behind a strong North American economy.”

The United States is Saskatchewan’s largest export market. Since 2018, exports have risen by 74 per cent.

Crude oil ($13.3 billion), potash ($6.5 billion) and canola oil ($2.8 billion) were the three largest exports from Saskatchewan to the U.S. last year.
