Quebec Producers Set Maple Syrup Sales Record

Quebec maple syrup producers had a good year.

The Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers says they produced just over 107 million pounds of syrup.

That's the province's fourth best harvest on record.

That's despite a late start which saw three quarters of Quebec maple syrup production come during the last three weeks of April.

The sales agency set a sales record for the second year in a row - selling 97 million pounds of syrup.

According to the Federation, the agency's sales have increased by 10 and a half per cent a year - going from almost 29 million pounds in 2010 to this year's 97 million pounds.
