The maple syrup reserve in Canada reaches a 16-year low.

By /
According to Mr. Doré-Ouellet, Quebec’s efforts to market Canadian maple syrup and its advantages to other nations—mainly the US, UK, Germany, Australia, and Japan—are responsible for the rise in demand.Many are eager to witness how the forthcoming harvest season plays out, since the reserve supply is diminishing in response to the increasing demand.

One of the warmest winters on record has just ended in Canada. December, January, and February saw the highest temperatures since records first started in 1948.

Mr. Doré-Ouellet remarked that there are grounds for optimism, notwithstanding this.

“The sugaring season has come early this year and is still underway,” he stated. “So far, production has been plentiful, and the weather forecasts are encouraging for the next few weeks all across Quebec.”He said it is critical that the reserve be replenished because it provides producers and consumers with market stability for maple syrup.

In order to support harvesting efforts, 14 million new taps have been released to growers over the previous three years as part of ongoing efforts to do so, he said.

While acknowledging that restocking Canada’s supply of maple syrup is a “multi-year process,” Mr. Doré-Ouellet also stated that, in his opinion, the results of the 2024 season will not “make or break” the country’s most recognizable commodity.
