The trade war initiated by President Trump, involving a 25% tariff on Canadian goods, presents significant challenges for American maple syrup producers. Many rely on Canadian equipment for production, leading to increased costs that may ultimately burden consumers with higher syrup prices. Despite this, producers like the Keyes family are hesitant to raise prices, fearing loss of business while expressing concerns over the sustainability of smaller farms. With the US heavily reliant on Canadian syrup, the industry faces uncertainty as tariffs continue to evolve.
