I think those numbers should have three zeros to the right of them...as in Quebec in 2012 made 7,858,000 gallons of syrup.

likewise, Nova Scotia made 25,000 gallons of syrup in 2012.

but the overall trend is interesting- quebec was only down 5% last year. We were off 40%. There is always next year...

I wonder if the minimal reduction in production is because there is so much more capacity for syrup production: i.e. many more trees on line.
It would be interesting to see if the production per tap stayed that stable.

If they have added many more taps to make up for the poor season, they could flood the market if they have a very good season. I will look at the link and see if they have tap # statistics in there.

Qc production was lower around Montreal (south west) and equal in others regions.
only 132,121 more taps for 2012, for a total of 42,832,903.
2012 production is 2.24Lbs /tap, 2011 was 2.39lbs
all those numbers came from FPAQ Dossier Économiques, 2011 and 2012
