With jurisdictions like New Brunswick, Quebec, New York State, getting programs and assistance for the maple industry, good old Ontario is conspicuous by its absence. There is just no vision out there for the maple industry in Ontario.
Initiatives such as renewable energy, sap collection & production, sap processing, and marketing are languishing by the wayside. Innovative opportunities abound.
Opportunities exist for larger more efficient production units that can take advantage of new technology and alternative processing methods.
