[QUOTE=DrTimPerkins;334407]Due to increasing production and high inventories, marketing is clearly a priority for the maple industry. The issue is how to find money to do this market research and sustain a national marketing campaign.

What is your opinion of investigating a national maple market order for maple or adding a tariff on imported maple syrup?

Definitions:

Tariff. A tax imposed on imported goods and services. Tariffs are used to restrict trade, as they increase the price of imported goods and services, making them more expensive to consumers. A specific tariff is levied as a fixed fee based on the type of item (e.g., $1,000 on any car).

Market Order. Marketing orders are measures intended to stabilise markets, standardise quality and packaging, regulate flows to the market and authorise research and development for certain farm commodities. They are used especially for fruits, vegetables and nuts.
