    Default 2016 Bulk Pricing

    Well the new year is almost upon us and it seems like an appropriate time to begin to discuss bulk pricing in 2016. Will the bulk price continue to drop with the Canadian dollar? Will U.S. expansion become a factor in affecting bulk price? Quebec has set the 2016 pricing but where do you think the prices will fall for U.S. producers in 2016?

    If you don't mind me asking, how do do sell your syrup? I was just going to sell mine at my house in the suburb. Hoping it will do good. I would rather sell retail too because not many people know what real syrup is or how its made. So I get to teach them

    This is about the time I pull out the old magic 8 ball and give it a shake, however it is pretty clear that if the Canadian $ drops further, so will the U.S. value of bulk syrup since they are fairly well tied together.

    Another question....will Quebec expansion have any effect on US expansion?

    So what are the 2016 bulk prices? I haven't seen them yet.

    I saw an article or a reference somewhere, I thought it was here but can't find it at the moment, that the Federation bulk pricing was expected to stay the same in 2016. I'll keep looking.

    Seems like someone said last year that the price was set for more than one year pretty sure it was on here. It wasn't in the almanac was it?

    Right now with the American dollar at $.72 to $1.00 Canadian dollar it looks like the bulk price will be around $2.10 lb.
