Amid recent records for international exports, the province’s agricultural manufacturers are generating sustained and significant growth as they create a rising global demand for Saskatchewan-made equipment and technology solutions.
While 2022 provincial exports to the U.S. reached an all-time high of $29.3 billion and total agri-food exports were a record $18.5 billion, shipments by the agricultural implement sector over the past five years have increased in value by 135 per cent from 2018 ($359 million) to 2023 ($843 million). From 2021 to 2022 alone, their value increased by 58 per cent. Saskatchewan’s total exports for 2022 were valued at $52.6 billion.
“Our province is known internationally as a source of safe, reliable and sustainably produced food, but we’re also being recognized for the quality equipment we use to grow it,” Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit said. “The made-in-Saskatchewan equipment our businesses design and create has a market that extends around the world, and these products are clearly in demand. We’re very proud of our innovative manufacturers and the success they’re creating in communities across the province.”
