An upcoming trade mission will allow Saskatchewan to explore further opportunities for collaboration and co-operation with Israel, according to provincial government officials.
A delegation will showcase Saskatchewan’s agriculture sector, seek opportunities to increase trade, and encourage Israeli companies to look at the province as a place to establish a presence in North America.
“This mission to Israel offers us a chance to showcase Saskatchewan’s world-class agriculture sector, business environment, mineral industry and more,” Saskatchewan’s Deputy Premier Gordon Wyant said in a press release.
Wyant and Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison will meet with senior government officials, private industry, and a number of Israeli organizations.
The week-long trip includes stops in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
In 2017, Saskatchewan exported over $19 million in goods to Israel, with lentils being the top export.
