Another Record Year for Merchandise Exports

Released on February 6, 2014

Saskatchewan is the Largest Per Capita Exporter in Canada

The year 2013 will go down as another record for exports, hitting $32.9 billion according to a report by Statistics Canada released today.  Exports were up by 4.6 per cent compared to 2012, and have increased by a whopping 70.2 per cent when compared to the 2007 total of $19.3 billion.

“This new export record is a testament to the strength and diversity of the Saskatchewan economy,” Minister responsible for Trade Tim McMillan said.  “Our government will continue to promote increased trade and exports across the world because we know the importance it has to our provincial economy.”


The largest year-over-year gains were in consumer goods, up 64.0 per cent, energy up 10.2 per cent and forestry products up 13.3 per cent.

“Saskatchewan exporters and producers have worked hard to make these new record numbers possible,” McMillan said.  “It is even more remarkable considering our exports didn’t even reach the $20 billion mark in 2007 and today exports are more than $32 billion.”
