Figures released today by Statistics Canada show that Saskatchewan's wholesale trade (excluding petroleum, petroleum products, and other hydrocarbons and excluding Oilseed and grain) rose 15.3 per cent from November 2024 to November 2025, ranking first among the provinces in year-over-year growth.
"It is good news for our economy when we see such significant growth in wholesale trade as it shows consumer confidence," Trade and Export Development Minister Warren Kaeding said. "We continue to work hard to ensure producers can reach the markets they need, as it means more resources flowing into our provincial economy."
In November 2025, the value of wholesale trade totaled $4.1 billion (excluding petroleum, petroleum products, and other hydrocarbons and excluding Oilseed and grain).

Wholesale trade is a measure of the value of goods purchased in large quantities with the intention of being sold to resellers, but not to final consumers. These numbers exclude petroleum, petroleum products, and other hydrocarbons and exclude oilseed and grain.
