Estimates produced by Nova Scotia horticulture
industry specialists.
Beginning in 1986, survey data for New
Brunswick and Ontario are weighted using the number of taps made on maple
trees in the spring of the year of the most recently completed census of agriculture.
Estimates produced jointly by the "Table filière
acéricole", "Cintech Agroalimentaire", "Groupe AGÉCO", "Institut
de la statistique du Québec (ISQ)" and the regional specialists of
the "ministère de l'Agriculture, des pêcheries et
de l'alimentation du Québec (MAPAQ)".
Note(s):
Conversion factors: 1 gallon of syrup equals 10.0 pounds
of maple sugar. One gallon of syrup weighs 13.4375 pounds. One gallon
of syrup equals 10.4 pounds of taffy. Maple taffy is reported by
Quebec and Nova Scotia only and commenced reporting in 1965 and 1983 respectively.
The conversion of maple taffy to syrup varies with the density of syrup that
year.
