Feeding the World, Hiring at Home: How Saskatchewan’s Booming Agriculture Sector is Driving Demand for Talent
Saskatchewan has long been the breadbasket of Canada and the world is taking notice.
In 2024, Saskatchewan’s agricultural exports soared to an impressive $18.5 billion, accounting for 41% of the province’s total exports.
This unprecedented growth is creating a surge in hiring needs across the province. At Next Level Group, we’ve seen firsthand how Saskatchewan’s agriculture boom is transforming the labour market. We know how critical it is for ag employers to attract and retain the right people to keep this momentum going.
The Hiring Boom Beneath the Harvest
Cereal Grains
With 7 million hectares seeded and 21.1 million metric tonnes (MMT) produced, Saskatchewan’s cereal grain industry is not only feeding nations—it’s driving jobs. The sector exported $6.0 billion worth of grains, making up almost half of the province’s agri-food exports by volume.
Oilseeds
With $3.4 billion in exports and shipments to 54 countries, the oilseed industry is powering everything from cooking oils to biofuels. It takes agronomists, equipment operators, millwrights, and supply chain experts to keep these operations running smoothly.
Pulses
Saskatchewan continues to lead the charge in lentils, peas, and chickpeas, producing 3.6 MMT of pulses in 2024. With $3.1 billion in exports, the need for talent in pulse research, processing, food safety, and innovation is expanding.
At Next Level Group, we understand that great harvests start with great people. Whether you’re running a grain operation in the southwest, a canola processing plant in the north, or a livestock facility on the prairies, the success of your business depends on finding skilled, reliable, and motivated team members.
