Global Demand Fuels Saskatchewan Export Growth
CANADA, August 4 - Released on August 4, 2026
Province Ranks Second Among the Provinces for Year-to-Date Export Growth
Today, Statistics Canada figures show that Saskatchewan's merchandise exports increased 11.6 per cent in the first six months of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.
"This strong growth is a testament to the hard work of Saskatchewan producers, manufacturers and exporters," Trade and Export Development Minister Warren Kaeding said. "Their success in international markets helps attract investment, create jobs and showcase our province as the reliable supplier the world depends on."
From January to June 2026, the province's international merchandise exports totaled $24.4 billion.
Merchandise exports are the dollar value of goods being sold to other countries from Saskatchewan (services excluded).
Statistics Canada's latest Gross Domestic Product (GDP) numbers indicate that Saskatchewan's 2025 real GDP reached an all-time high of $85.4 billion. This was an increase of 2.2 per cent, putting the province well above the national average of 1.7 per cent.
Private capital investment in Saskatchewan increased last year by 12 per cent to $13.6 billion, ranking first among provinces. Efforts behind the province's Securing the Next Decade of Growth: Saskatchewan's Investment Attraction Strategy are driving that momentum.
