Maple syrup reserves are at risk of running out due to hoarding behavior by Americans

The surge in demand for maple syrup, particularly from Americans fearing price hikes due to tariffs, is depleting Canada's strategic reserves. Canadian producers warn that storage facilities will be nearly empty by February. Canada, which produces 75% of the world's maple syrup, faces challenges in replenishing stocks due to increased global demand and trade tensions with the U.S. The tapping season runs from February to April, and production is heavily weather-dependent. Despite these challenges, producers assure that they can meet next year's supply needs.
