Current Situation

Domestic exports of Nova Scotia agricultural and seafood products increased to $3.09 billion in 2022. This goal is surpassing the 2024 target ahead of schedule. After declining to a low of $977 million in 2010, domestic exports of agricultural and seafood products have grown by $2.1 billion. The acceleration in seafood exports were responsible for putting this goal on track to meet the target well ahead of time.
