Saskatchewan's Merchandise Exports Set Record for March

Released on May 5, 2015

Saskatchewan’s merchandise exports reached $3.1 billion in March (seasonally unadjusted), a 6.4 per cent increase year-over-year, and an all-time high for the month of March according to Statistics Canada.

Saskatchewan’s merchandise exports were $8.7 billion for the first three months of 2015, up 10.6 per cent over the same period last year.  This was the second largest increase among the provinces.


“The new merchandise exports record for the month of March is proof that our economy is strong and diversified,” Minister responsible for Trade Jeremy Harrison said.  “Thanks to the hard work of Saskatchewan people, our economy continues to strengthen, as the global market recognizes that we have what the world needs.”

Year-over-year, major increases were recorded in metal and non-metallic mineral products, up 293.1 per cent; metal ores and non-metallic minerals, up 62.1 per cent; consumer goods, up 56.8 per cent; and electronic and electrical equipment and parts, up 46.2 per cent.
