Resources

Saskatchewan is a major agricultural producer. It is also the world's largest exporter of potash, a vital ingredient in fertilizer, via the state-owned Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan.

Like its neighbour to the west, Alberta, Saskatchewan has an oil and gas industry, though on a smaller scale. The province has its own oil sands deposits, though unlike Alberta's booming Athabasca Oil Sands, Saskatechewan's deposits are located deeper and therefore cannot be surface-mined.
