Second such decline in three years

4 June 2018 – “Cold Spring Prompts 22% Drop in Quebec Maple Syrup Production,” reads the headline on bloomberg.com.
“The province harvested 118 million pounds (53,500 metric tons) this season, a 22 percent drop from last year’s record 152.2 million pounds, the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers said Monday in a statement. That’s the lowest since 2015 after production was hurt by unusually late snow and cold.”
But don’t worry, the province will tap into its strategic reserve to cover any shortfall.
