Pork exports strengthen Manitoba's economy

Sep 10, 2025

Manitoba’s pork export business has changed, according to a new provincial trade report released earlier this year.

The report looked to sum up the province’s current pork trade landscape and identify alternate markets the province could be selling into.

It was one of several such commodity specific reports the province released this year.

Manitoba’s total pork exports reached $1.7 billion in 2024, according to the report.

Pork was also one of the province’s top-three exports in 2023, a year where total ag exports hit a whopping $9.39 billion, growing over six per cent from the year before.

At the time, almost all of the $111-million annual jump in Manitoba’s meat exports were driven by pork.

Manitoba Agriculture reported that over the last five years, the province has sold over $7.5 billion worth of pork and pork products abroad.

Video: Research in Action | Swine Cluster 4 - Activity 8: Precision Feeding with Dr. Aline Remus

Research in Action is a video series from Swine Innovation Porc that highlights the people and projects driving innovation in Canada's pork sector.

In this episode, Dr. Aline Remus (Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada) explains how precision feeding is helping producers improve efficiency, reduce feed costs and lower environmental impacts while supporting animal health and welfare.

As part of Swine Cluster 4 - Activity 8, this research is advancing precision livestock farming by tailoring nutrition to the needs of individual pigs or groups of pigs. The project aims to reduce feed costs, decrease greenhouse gas emissions and nutrient losses, and develop practical precision feeding systems that producers can confidently adopt on-farm.

By bringing together researchers from across Canada and around the world, this work is helping transform innovative research into practical solutions for a more sustainable and competitive Canadian pork sector.
