International export offices worth the investment, according to Saskatchewan government

“Now we’re going through the process of hiring managing directors for those offices and we hope to have two of them open in November and two more in the first quarter of the calendar year,” said Jeremy Harrison, Saskatchewan Minister of Trade and Export Development.The number of international offices will be doubling as the province already has a permanent presence in Japan, India, Singapore and China.

Harrison says despite the pandemic, Saskatchewan companies are able to export approximately 65 per cent of what they produce. “Of course the offices aren’t responsible for every dollar of that trade, but that being said, having that long-term, on-the-ground presence really has paid significant dividends to the province, we would view it as being a tremendous return on investment,” he added.

Harper and Associates is being paid for its role in assisting with the establishment of the international offices. The contract is yearly, and is renewed annually. He adds international offices are not uncommon among provinces in Canada, and they are supported across party lines.International trade essential to Alberta’s food trade: Minister of Agriculture – Mar 26, 2020
