Exporters of maple syrup are storming new markets, while Quebec's gold is now found in some supermarkets in India, the United Arab Emirates and Africa.
After Japan, Germany and the United Kingdom, which rose to the top of the list of importing countries, India and the Middle East are now targeted by Quebec producers, who last year assured 76 % Of world exports of maple syrup.
Australia and New Zealand are also in medium- or long-term plans, according to the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers.
But for now, the Federation intends to direct its energies on India.
"Initially when we went on a prospecting trip, we did not believe it until we realized the quiet strength of this country, where there are over a billion people, Explains the director Simon Trépanier, who also believes that the high rate of diabetes in India also helps the cause of maple syrup.
"Sweeteners that have a lower glycemic index, such as maple syrup, are becoming interesting," he says.
One pallet at a time
At Les Industries Bernard & Fils, which exports syrup from nearly 1,000 producers in 42 countries, India's market is still embryonic. "We go one pallet at a time [sales representative of $ 5,000 to $ 10,000], we test the market," says director Martin Bernard, pointing out that he is also doing "small breakthroughs" on the African continent, In Ghana and Kenya.
The Citadelle Cooperative, which distributes the syrup of nearly 2000 producers, has stormed China in recent years. For its part, L.B. Maple Treat of Granby is working on Saudi Arabia.
Fashionable
According to the various exporters surveyed by Le Journal, maple syrup has become "fashionable" everywhere on the globe and looks good with consumers.
By exploring emerging markets, exporters admit that they have to do their homework by adapting the product to each crop.
"Where honey is very strong, you often make good breakthroughs with syrup," says Bernard.
