I am not fully up on what happens in the various state producer associations but in Canada, Quebec produces about 80% of the supply of syrup. They operate under a marketing board and a quota system. This coming year they are releasing more quota (more taps) to increase the supply of syrup to meet the demand. They always keep a stock of syrup in reserve to use when the demand outstrips the current supply. It is simply sound practise to do so. All maple syrup in Quebec is regulated to be sold through the Board and they call the shots. You may not care for the method but it works to maintain a steady supply through lean years as well as keep a flood of syrup off the market in a good year to maintain the price. regards, Ken McGregor

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Canadian_Maple_Syrup_Heist
Origins[edit]Syrup production in a Quebec sugar house (2005) In 1966, a group of maple syrup producers in Quebec participated in a joint plan to collectively market maple syrup. This effort inspired the formation of a larger agreement all across Quebec which became known as the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers. The FPAQ maintains a strategic reserve of maple syrup, officially known as the International Strategic Reserve (ISR) across multiple warehouses in rural Quebec towns. Theft[edit]Over the course of several months between 2011 and 2012, the contents of 9,571 barrels, valued at C$18.7M, were stolen in a suspected insider job from a FPAQ facility in Saint-Louis-de-Blandford, Quebec. The syrup was stored in unmarked white metal barrels inspected only once a year. Thieves used trucks to transport barrels to a remote sugar shack, where they siphoned off the maple syrup, refilled the barrels with water, then returned them to the facility.[3] As the operation progressed, the thieves started siphoning syrup directly off barrels in the reserve without refilling them. The stolen syrup was trucked to the south (Vermont) and east (New Brunswick), where it was trafficked in many small batches to reduce suspicion. It was typically sold to legitimate syrup distributors who were unaware of its origin. Discovery and investigation[edit]In July 2012, the FPAQ took its annual inventory of syrup barrels. Inspector Michel Gauvreau started climbing up the barrels and nearly fell, expecting 600-pound (270 kg) barrels but finding them to be empty.[3] Police later recovered hundreds of barrels of the syrup from an exporter based in Kedgwick, New Brunswick.[4] Between 18 and 20 December 2012, police arrested 17 men related to the theft. Perpetrators[edit]
In popular culture[edit]The theft was featured in the Netflix documentary series Dirty Money in season 1, episode 5, "The Maple Syrup Heist". |

Canada runs the show, making as mentioned, 80% of the maple syrup in the world.
