Zerohedge: Canada Forced To Tap Its "Emergency" Maple Syrup Reserves
December 8, 2021
You've heard of the strategic petroleum reserve - but have you heard of Canada's emergency strategic maple syrup reserve?
The country has been forced to tap into its "emergency" reserves, according to BBC, amidst a historic global supply shortage.
The Quebec Maple Syrup Producers (QMSP), which the BBC article actually refers to as "the so-called OPEC of maple syrup", has released about 22 million kg of "reserve" syrup from its emergency larder, the report says.
This amounts to about half the total it holds in reserve. It marks the first time in three years that the reserve has been used.
