The national data agency tracked a decline in exports in nine of 11 categories including in metals, down eight per cent, and motor vehicles, down 1.1 per cent. Canola exports fell 42.4 per cent, erasing gains made following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

In the first quarter, exports were up 10 per cent annualized from the quarter before with imports flat.Article content
