What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

The world's strategic maple syrup reserve, located across three warehouses in Quebec, is running dry. Producteurs et productrices acéricoles du Québec predicts the stockpile will be completely depleted by the end of February. This depletion is attributed to soaring global demand, including in the United States, where U.S. commercial customers rushed to buy supplies fearing tariffs from Donald Trump.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The reserve was established to stabilize prices and supply for the $1.2-billion industry. With the buffer exhausted, the industry could lose customers if weather conditions are unfavorable for maple sap flow, potentially leading to market losses.
