Maple syrup connoisseurs on both sides of the border take note: Canada’s strategic maple syrup reserve has reached a 16-year low.

The Quebec-based facility is designed to hold 133 million pounds of maple syrup, but in 2023, levels fell to 6.9 million pounds — the result of increased international demand and warmer springs associated with a changing climate.

However, there are — thankfully — no immediate concerns about supply shortfalls or a rise in prices, and this spring’s harvest is so far going well. GZERO will keep you on top of this sticky situation.
