Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit is in Washington, D.C. to participate in the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture 2026 Winter Policy Conference this week.
The provincial government says this underscores the essential role strong Canada-U.S. agricultural trade plays in supporting jobs, international competitiveness and food affordability on both sides of the border.
The United States remains Saskatchewan's largest trading partner with two-way agricultural trade supporting farmers, processors, transportation networks and communities across North America.
Saskatchewan's exports, including canola, pulses, livestock and potash, contribute directly to the success of U.S. food production, provide supply chain stability, support U.S. manufacturing jobs and enhance affordability for consumers.
At the conference, the Minister will highlight the importance of the United States-Canada-Mexico Agreement in facilitating stable and rules-based trade in advance of the agreement's upcoming review.
