Saskatchewan is seeing significant growth in wholesale trade with a 6.8 % increase, seasonally adjusted, from September to October of this year.

That is the largest percent increase among the provinces.

Statistic's Canada wholesale trade numbers also show strong year-over-year growth for the province.

From October 2020 to October 2021, wholesale trade increased 19.7 %, seasonally adjusted, which was the second-highest in the country.

Trade and Export Development Minister, Jeremy Harrison, said those wholesale trade numbers are just one more indicator of how the economic recovery is well underway.

He added that  Saskatchewan has investment flowing into the province, one of the country's lowest unemployment rates, thousands of jobs being added, and some of the best trade and export growth in Canada, which all highlights the strength of the province's economy.

Saskatchewan's wholesale trade growth was led by farm product merchandise wholesalers which saw double-digit increases in growth both month over month and year over year.

The total value of wholesale trade in Saskatchewan in October was $2.9 billion.
