A Sticky Situation…

Producteurs et productrices acéricoles du Québec (PPAQ) – The Maple Syrup Cartel

(High Level of Crisis elements)

 
 

Committee Description

In the heart of Quebec, a golden empire reigns supreme. Controlling nearly 77% of the world’s maple syrup supply, the Quebec Maple Syrup Producers (PPAQ) have transformed a humble Canadian tradition into a multi-billion-dollar global industry. But with great influence comes great scrutiny. Governments challenge its market dominance, international buyers push back on pricing, and whispers of smuggling and organized crime threaten its pristine reputation. Can PPAQ expand its sweet empire while fending off legal battles, trade wars, and climate challenges? Or will its control slip through its fingers like syrup on a stack of hot pancakes?
