Good morning !
Perhaps you are pouring Maple Syrup on your pancakes this morning ? If so, use it sparingly because there seems to be a shortage of it in the market place .
Quebec produces 73 percent of the world’s maple syrup supply but was hit with a shorter and warmer spring sugaring season, causing output to fall. The demand for it was also greater this year than in past years .
Petroleum stockpiles aren’t the only strategic reserves being tapped amid supply shortages and sky-high prices.
The Canadian federation that controls close to three-quarters of the world’s maple syrup production has announced it will release about 50 million pounds of maple syrup from its emergency stockpile — almost half of the reserve — to keep Quebec’s liquid gold flowing to breakfast tables worldwide. The announcement from the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers comes after supply was strained by a drop in production and a pandemic-fueled surge in demand. Click HERE for the complete story .
I want to say SHOP Local and support our local Maple Syrup producers in the Tri -Counties .
