The Government of Saskatchewan says Uranium exports of Saskatchewan produced uranium to the EU increased 306 per cent to almost $1 billion in 2023. The province says total exports to the EU increased 12 per cent which includes export of uranium, lentils, chickpeas, non-durum wheat, mustard seed and several agricultural machinery types.

The government, which has come under fire by the opposition for the expense of establishing international offices, says uranium provincial exports to the European Union, specifically Germany, have enjoyed continued strong growth in 2023.  Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “Saskatchewan’s newest trade and investment office, located in Berlin, is strengthening our bi-lateral relationships with jurisdictions across Europe and is expanding the reach of our exports.”

And in a news release the government says that according to the Saskatchewan State of Trade Report 2023, Saskatchewan exported over $500 million in goods to Germany in 2023, a 238 per cent increase compared to 2022 driven largely by rising demand for Saskatchewan uranium.
