I think both but my high school french is way behind me.
here's their info in english, from their press release: PRESS RELEASE For immediate release QUEBEC MAPLE SYRUP An outstanding 2019 harves tLongueuil, June 12, 2019 – A late spring and cold temperatures did not interfere with MotherNature’s generosity. This year Quebec’s 7,400 maple syrup businesses harvested more than 159 million pounds of maple syrup. That’s an average of 3.43 pounds per tap. According to theQuebec Maple Syrup Producers, that’s reason to celebrate.A much better season than last year In 2018 the season was subpar overall, with yields that varied tremendously from one maple syrupregion to the next. Against all odds, Quebec’s producers overcame a late start to produce 41 million pounds more maple syrup than last year

A more useful number would be the average price per unit received by the producer. I see no point in working so hard to produce more and more just to receive slave wages.
I was interested in who made the most maple syrup. I knew it was Quebec, but did not realize by how much. I was also surprised that Vermont was second by a fair amount and that New York and Maine produced almost as much as Ontario.
