Volume of Saskatchewan's Agri-Food Exports to India Sees Over 70 Per Cent Increase

India, already one of the top global markets for Saskatchewan's agriculture producers, is also one of the fastest-growing with provincial agri-food exports increasing in volume by over 71 per cent in 2023, when compared to 2022. Exports of Saskatchewan lentils and peas to India, the province's largest pulse market, experienced significant growth by the end of 2023. Saskatchewan's total agri-food export volume to India ranked second in year-over-year growth among its markets, behind only Nigeria and ahead of Algeria, Indonesia, Peru and China. India ranked sixth among Saskatchewan's agri-food export markets in terms of value for 2023, at $712 million. "Our agriculture producers are among the best in the world at supplying safe, nutritious and sustainably grown products," Agriculture Minister David Marit said. "With India being Saskatchewan's fifth largest trading partner, we want to help our companies and producers remain profitable and competitive by reinforcing our global links with

Government of Saskatchewan Commits $15 Million to Global Institute for Food Security at the University of Saskatchewan

Agriculture Minister David Marit announced a funding commitment today of $15 million over five years to the Global Institute for Food Security (GIFS) at the University of Saskatchewan. Founded in 2012 as part of the University of Saskatchewan's world-class agri-science hub, GIFS works with its partners to provide expertise and leadership in the discovery, development and delivery of innovative solutions to produce globally sustainable food. "This kind of substantial commitment is fundamental to keeping our agriculture industry a global leader in technology, production and best practices, and the track record GIFS has established proves it," Marit said. "Investing in research activities undertaken by GIFS and similar institutions is the first step toward enabling Saskatchewan's producers to not only stay competitive, but proving that they remain among the most productive, innovative and sustainable in the world." In January, GIFS released the results of a two-year study providing evi

Canada's farmland values continued to climb in 2023, FCC reports

The average value of Canadian farmland continued its steady climb in 2023, increasing by 11.5 per cent, slightly less than the 12.8 per cent increase reported in 2022, according to the latest FCC Farmland Values Report. "Farmland prices have continued to increase at a rapid pace over the last couple of years, even when economic conditions suggested the growth should slow," said J.P. Gervais, FCC's chief economist. "A limited supply of available farmland combined with a robust demand from farm operations is driving that growth." The highest average provincial increases in farmland values were observed in Saskatchewan, Quebec, Manitoba and Ontario, with double-digit average increases of 15.7, 13.3, 11.1 and 10.7 per cent, respectively. Four provinces had single-digit average increases and were below the national average at 7.8 per cent in Nova Scotia, 7.4 per cent in Prince Edward Island, 6.5 per cent in Alberta and 5.6 per cent in New Brunswick. British Columbia recorded an average d

Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation RJ Sigurdson issued the following statement on ‘Product of USA’ voluntary labelling:

“Alberta is deeply concerned about the United States’ plans to implement ‘Product of USA’ voluntary labelling on meat, poultry and eggs derived from animals born, raised, slaughtered and processed in the United States. When this decision comes into effect in January 2026, it could disrupt the highly integrated meat and livestock supply chains that exist between Canada and the United States. “We are committed to making sure Alberta producers and processors continue to have open access to efficient, stable, competitive markets in the United States. Maintaining the integrated supply chains will provide food security for consumers and benefit the livestock and meat industries on both sides of the border. “Alberta respects the long-standing trade relationship between our countries. We will continue working closely with the Government of Canada and the other provinces to ensure the United States understands our ongoing concerns about the impact this new voluntary labelling regulation could
