Maple Production

Quebec maple producers are far and away the main producers of maple syrup in Canada and the world, with 71% of world production (in 2004). According to estimates, 51% of Quebec's maple groves count 3,000 or fewer taps, 12% count 10,000 or more, and only 1% count more than 30,000. The Canadian provinces that produce maple syrup are Quebec (90.7% of domestic production), followed by Ontario (4.4%), New Brunswick (4.4%) and Nova Scotia (0.5%). Prince Edward Island also produces maple syrup, but in small quantities.
