Quebec's maple syrup is indeed controlled by a cartel and the traditional supply/demand rules are meaningless, it's just market manipulation. Same with cow milk. But both BC and Ontario operate the same way, so I'm not sure why you're implying that quebec is the outlier here, seems like wherever you live might be...
- bregma 3y agoI'm a maple syrup producer in Ontario and I can state unequivocally there is no marketing board or supply-side economics for maple products here. You make it, you sell it, people buy it. Do maple trees even grow in BC? I'm not aware of any syrup industry of any size there.
