Saskatchewan’s July export numbers were up 9.0 per cent from July 2019, for a total of $2.53 billion. The province says this was the second highest percentage increase among the provinces, seasonally adjusted. Nationally, exports were down 12.5 per cent.

Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison says, “Our economy is dependent on exports, and increases in July show we continue to recover from the challenges of COVID-19.” He says there is still a lot of work to do, but the numbers are another encouraging sign.
Major increases year over year were reported in agriculture and food products, electrical equipment, and consumer goods.

On a month-over-month basis, exports were up 10.6 per cent in July, the third highest percentage increase among the provinces.
