SASKATCHEWAN EXPORT NUMBERS TAKE MASSIVE HIT

MOE DECISION TO DELAY CHINA MISSION HURT PRODUCERS

SASKATOON – Saskatchewan’s export numbers continue to plummet as Scott Moe prepares to embark on a trade mission he should have taken six months ago.

The latest data from Statistics Canada, released this morning, show that Saskatchewan merchandise exports to China plummeted by 21.1 per cent in July.

Year-to-date, Saskatchewan exports to China have fallen 28.8 per cent, and by 48.5 per cent comparing July 2024 to July 2025.

“It should not take six months of job-killing tariffs for this Premier to hop on a plane and start doing his job,” said Kim Breckner, Saskatchewan NDP Shadow Minister for Trade and Export Development.

“The Premier should have started planning this mission as soon as tariffs were threatened, not a year later during harvest.”

Up until last week, Moe maintained that lobbying the Chinese was a job only for the federal government, not his government.

Moe and his Ministers have also refused to come clean with producers and release records showing what, if anything, their China trade office have accomplished over the last six months as China stacked up job-killing tariffs on Saskatchewan exports.

“We need our trade offices firing on all cylinders and delivering results for farms and businesses in our province,” said Breckner.

“The canola tariffs are one of the biggest issues facing our province right now and I know a lot of people are wondering if this government has done anything yet to move the needle.

“We’re an export-based province and we can’t have a bright future unless our goods get to market.”

Premier Moe’s claim that Saskatchewan has been largely unscathed by the U.S. trade war has also been proven categorically false by the data. Saskatchewan exports to the United States are down 25.1 per cent comparing July 2024 to July 2025.

The Sask. Party also has not done nearly enough to open new trade markets, as Saskatchewan’s merchandise export trade to all countries is down 3.8 per cent year-to-date and by 13.1 per cent comparing July 2024 to July 2025.
