The Strategic Maple Syrup Reserve

Canada maintains a Strategic Maple Syrup Reserve in Quebec, with 77,000 barrels. Created in 2000 by the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers, this stockpile regulates the syrup supply and prices. In 2012, thieves pulled off a daring heist, stealing syrup worth $18 million in what became known as the Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist. 🍯
