Saskatchewan intends to build its trade relationship with India during a trade trip next month.
Premier Brad Wall met with members of the Indo-Canadian community this morning prior to announcing details of the Nov. 15-23 trip.
Wall said he will promote the province’s strength in agriculture, energy and innovation while encouraging Indian investment in business opportunities in Saskatchewan.
“Saskatchewan led the nation in exports to India in 2013 — $1 billion worth of products,” Wall said. “But we can build on that base even further, with our demonstrated strengths in the food, fuel and fertilizer that expanding economies like India need.”
During the trip Wall will speak at the opening ceremony of Agro Tech 2014 in Chandigarh and talk to 400 farmers in Muzaffarnagar about the importance of potash.
India by far buys more from Saskatchewan than the province does from it; imports were $40 million in 2013.
