Mexico is an important buyer of Saskatchewan agricultural products with canola, wheat, pulses, cattle and cattle genetics topping the list.

The provincial trade delegations will use Saskatchewan’s trade office in Mexico City for meetings with various agricultural business. Deputy Agriculture Minister is part of the delegation.

Agriculture Minister David Marit will also attend the annual Tri-National Agricultural Accord in Saltillo, Mexico. It brings together elected agricultural leaders and senior officials from Mexican and US States as well as Canadian provinces. Ag policies in the North American trade zone will discussed by delegates.

Saskatchewan will host next year’s Tri-National Agricultural Accord in a yet-to-be-announced location.
