Premier Scott Moe speaks about upcoming trade mission to India
India imposes tariffs of 10% on lentils and 30% on yellow peas, impacting Saskatchewan farmers as Premier Moe seeks federal support and trade renewal.
- On Feb. 25, 2026, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe joined Prime Minister Mark Carney in New Delhi and Mumbai to press India on tariffs and promote Saskatchewan sectors.
- India's current tariffs — 10 per cent on Canadian lentils and 30 per cent on yellow peas — harm Saskatchewan farming industry, and Moe worries India might raise lentil tariffs amid domestic issues.
- The premier stressed restarting paused discussions, noting they were happening years ago before being put on hold, and said `I will be engaging on that topic.` hoping the meetings this week will `reinvigorate` efforts.
- Moe's schedule includes a conference appearance and a planned return to Saskatchewan on March 6, while Pulse Canada welcomed the joint effort and long-term demand driving industry expansion.
- Emphasizing broader strategy, Scott Moe urged preserving Canada–U.S. free trade while expanding into other markets and noted ongoing work on Chinese duties on canola and pork.
