Quebec’s abundance of land and natural resources supports the province’s diverse farming activities. Data from the 2021 Census of Agriculture shows that Quebec is amongst Canada’s leaders in several agricultural commodities including maple, dairy cows, pigs and cranberries. Maple farming continues to provide worldwide recognition to Quebec, as the province exported over $568.9 million worth of maple sugar and syrup in 2021.
In 2021, Quebec accounted for 91.3% of farms in Canada classified as maple syrup and products, up 1.9% from 2016. Since the province had the vast majority of maple syrup farms, Quebec accounted for 89.1% of maple taps in Canada.
