There are few things more Canadian than maple syrup. Almost 90% of world production is Canadian. about 73,000,000 litres. Quebec world leader with 70% of global production with Ontario second largest Canadian producer, contributing almost a million litres per year. Most exports are to United States, with smaller amounts to Germany, Japan and the UK. Yet strangely, it is the US which claims a National Maple Syrup Day--and on 17th December rather than in March, prime sugaring off time in most areas of production.
