REGINA, Sask. — Minister of Crown Investments Corporation Jeremy Harrison will lead a mission to the Philippines from Oct. 17 to 23 to participate in the World Nuclear Supply Chain Conference.
Minister of Agriculture David Marit will also lead a mission to Japan from Oct. 17 to 22 to promote Saskatchewan agriculture and strengthen relationships in the province's third largest agricultural export market.
Saskatchewan is home to the world's largest high-grade uranium deposits, according to Sask. Trade and Export Development. The province produces 100 per cent of Canada's uranium and is the second largest uranium producer in the world. The province is also home to internationally recognized industry leaders, leading research institutions and a growing network of suppliers supporting nuclear projects in Canada and around the world, the ministry says.
While in Japan, Marit will meet with many long-term buyers of Saskatchewan agrifood products, as well as companies interested in exploring new opportunities in agriculture, minerals and fuel. He also will deliver keynotes at two major business events.
In 2025, Saskatchewan exported $1.2 billion in agrifood products to Japan, an increase of almost one third compared to 2024, reports Sask. Trade and Export Development. The province's top agrifood export to Japan last year was canola seed, followed by wheat, barley, durum and malt.
