US EditionSaskatchewan exports to China nosedive amid Ottawa’s tariff dispute with Beijing
Saskatchewan's exports to China fell 76.5% in August 2025 amid tariffs on canola and electric vehicles, impacting jobs and livelihoods, Statistics Canada data shows.
- Wednesday, NDP Economy and Jobs critic Aleana Young pointed to Statistics Canada figures showing Saskatchewan's exports to China fell 35.8 per cent year-to-date and 76.5 per cent in August 2025.
- The tariff dispute stemming from Canada's 100 per cent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles has hit Saskatchewan farming and food exporters, which account for about 60 per cent of China shipments and have declined since June.
- In September, Premier Scott Moe travelled to China with Kody Blois to press for tariff relief, seeking reductions on canola, pork and seafood while noting EV tariff removal was "not a simple fix."
- Moe faces pressure as Young warns the export slump could hit jobs and farms, urging him to be "on the phone every single day" with the prime minister as U.S. trade falls nearly 14 per cent.
- The Saskatchewan government says it has prioritized diversifying trade through its nine international offices and exports nearly $50 billion annually while urging Ottawa and Beijing to keep talks.
