Quebec International maple syrup Strategic Reserve

Écrit le . Publié dans Actualités, Documentaire, Mon travail photographique. 2 Commentaires

The tiny, picturesque village of St-Antoine-de-Tilly has a secret.

In a nondescript warehouse on the outskirts of town, some 40 kilometres southwest of Quebec City, there is a stash of maple syrup.

A 6.3-million-kilogram stash of maple syrup, to be exact.

(…)

Together, these stockpiles are officially called the International Strategic Reserve, which works like a Fort Knox for Canada’s most-cherished breakfast condiment – a massive arsenal of sweet, liquid gold ready to be deployed to feed a rise in global demand while maintaining price stability.
