The world is looking to Saskatchewan as a key source for agri-food products.
Statistics show non-durum wheat exports have reached $1.7 billion for the current year.
Canola seed and canola oil have hit $1.3 and $1.1 billion respectively, with several other agri-food exports on track to surpass this year's $1 billion export mark.
Agriculture Minister David Marit says the global marketplace is also recognizing Saskatchewan as a provider of the most sustainable products grown anywhere.
"Our research sector drives that innovation and our producers in the field continue to find ways to do it better than anyone, year after year. That's what a competitive, profitable and world-leading agriculture industry looks like."
Earlier this year, a study from the Global Institute for Food Security showed the Province's net carbon footprint for the production of non-durum wheat was 62 per cent lower than other similar jurisdictions which they looked at, while canola was 67 per cent lower.
Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison says customers from around the world choose Saskatchewan for the sustainable, high-quality products they rely on.
"Our government will continue to protect and promote key sectors, including agriculture, through international engagement, which is leading to Saskatchewan products reaching new markets. Saskatchewan's historic growth in agri-food exports is providing new employment and economic opportunities for the province's strong and vibrant communities."
The growing interest in Saskatchewan's agri-food products has resulted in the province hitting its 2030 Growth Plan target of $20 billion in annual agri-food exports early, that goal was met in 2023 with $20.2 Billion being reported.
