The maple syrup industry in New England faces significant challenges due to unpredictable spring weather and President Trump's fluctuating tariff policies. According to producers like Jim Judd, equipment and materials essential to syrup production are sourced internationally. Although recent tariff rollbacks provide temporary relief, the long-term implications remain unclear, particularly for packaging and equipment from China, Italy, and Canada, which dominates the global maple syrup market. As the situation evolves, producers express concerns about sustaining growth amidst this unpredictability.
"It's uncertain enough making maple syrup."
