These are boom times for most maple syrup farmers. But harvesting this quintessential Canadian product has never been more challenging.
And two of the industry’s largest companies, both based in Quebec, which accounts for more than 70 per cent of global production, have been acquired in recent years by big food conglomerates., making winners of some syrup-producing regions while threatening to reduce the output of others.favour Canadian producers, who by some estimates have the potential to increase their output as much as tenfold in coming years.
Meanwhile, U.S. production, which extends as far south as Virginia and Kentucky, is expected to eventually decline due to increasingly mild winters. Warmer winters also provide less snow cover, exposing the roots of trees to rot and attacks by pests.
Looks like no one actually cares about ur crappy stories eh? Up for so long and no comments., what a lame duck paper.
Yea climate change sure. Hopefully get one in January next year too
Climate change as advertised would be a boon for Canada. Not sure why we're destroying our economy in a futile attempt that equals 3 months of China's CO2 growth.
