The last object of coronavirus related panic buying Canadian Maple Syrup

Toilet paper is not the only element that buyers during pandemic crown stocking up. Maple syrup buyers, such as supermarkets rush shipments require their orders from Quebec, the biggest producers in the world. Accelerated delivery is fueled by concerns that sending in the coming months could be difficult, said Daniel Dufour, director of the Maple Industry Council. “We do not know what conditions will prevail in two, three, four months from now,” Dufour said by telephone from Quebec City. “They want to hurry delivery time, faster.” The United States is the largest consumer of syrup, followed by Germany and Japan, he said. Canadian maple syrup sold as pure ingredient for use in the home and in restaurants and in other foods, such as maple butter and maple bacon. The good news for lovers of pancakes is that there is no shortage of syrup. The Federation of Quebec maple syrup producers have a strategic reserve of 100 million pounds of syrup at a loss.
