Agricultural Products Top The List For Saskatchewan Exports

Sep 10, 2020

Stats for July show Saskatchewan's exports totalled over $2.5 billion dollars, up 9%

from last year.

Agriculture and Food exports were up 55% over last year

Stats show that wheat exports led the way from January to July, followed by oilseeds (except soybean), dry pea and bean, other grains and soybeans.

Everett Hindley, the Province's Legislative Secretary for Trade and Export Development says

we have what the world needs.

"More so now than ever. We've talked about whether its fuel production out of this province in the

oil and gas sector and uranium or it's the food that we provide through ag exports or things like potash

as well, fertilizer. Saskatchewan truly has what the world needs."

The United States heads the list of the top countries we exported to for January to July followed by China,

Japan, Mexico and Bangladesh.

Hindley says overall the numbers show that Saskatchewan is well positioned to pull out of this pandemic

in a better position than many other jurisdictions.

Video: What Does 20 MILLION Hogs a Year Look Like?

?? The Multi-Plant System Processing 20 Million Hogs Annually in the Midwest JBS USA operates multiple large-scale pork processing facilities across the Midwest, including major plants in Iowa, Minnesota, and Indiana. Combined, these facilities have the capacity to process approximately 20 million hogs annually.

Each plant operates high-speed automated slaughter systems capable of processing up to 20,000 head per day, followed by fabrication lines that break carcasses into primals, sub-primals, and case-ready retail products.

Hog procurement is coordinated through electronic marketing platforms that connect regional contract finishing operations and independent producers to plant demand schedules. This digital procurement system allows for steady supply flow and scheduling efficiency across multiple facilities.

Processing plants incorporate comprehensive food safety systems, including pathogen intervention technologies, rapid chilling processes, and integrated cold-chain management. USDA inspection is embedded throughout the harvest and fabrication stages to ensure regulatory compliance and product integrity. Finished pork products — from bulk primals to retail-ready packaged cuts — are distributed through coordinated logistics networks serving domestic and export markets.
