The economy of Saskatchewan has been associated with agriculture resulting in the moniker "Bread Basket of Canada"[6] and Bread Basket of the World.[7] According to the Government of Saskatchewan, approximately 95% of all items produced in Saskatchewan, depend on the basic resources available within the province. Various grains, livestock, oil and gas, potash, uranium, wood and their spin off industries fuel the economy.[8]

As of 2017, Saskatchewan's GDP was approximately C$79.513 billion.[9][10]
