Canola drives up Sask. exports to Mexico

Feb 24, 2023

Saskatchewan’s annual exports to Mexico have exceeded $1 billion for the first time.

Trade surpassed $1.02 billion in 2022, thanks to increased sales of canola oil, canola seed and non-durum wheat, the province said in Feb. 23 news release.

Canola seed made up nearly 55 percent of total exports to Mexico last year, with a total value of more than $557 million, the province said.

The provincial government opened an international office in Mexico City in 2022.

The new office played a key role in expanding Saskatchewan’s exports to Mexico, the province added.

Having a local team in the country to work with Saskatchewan exporters has proven invaluable, it said.
