Abstract

This report analyzes the economic trade-offs between harvesting hardwoods and maple syrup production in Quebec's public forests. It finds that while the hardwood sector is larger overall, maple syrup production generates more economic benefits per hectare. The report also points out the non-substitutable nature of maple syrup production and the high concentration of economic activity in syrup production, relative to hardwoods harvesting. The report indicates that prioritizing maple syrup production on suitable public lands would lead to a more economically optimal allocation of resources. It also highlights the potential for conservation efforts and integration of maple syrup production with protected areas, aligning with Quebec's biodiversity goals. Ce rapport analyse la tension entre l’industrie forestière et l’acériculture pour l’accès aux érablières en forêts publiques au Québec. Il révèle que, bien que le secteur du feuillu dur soit globalement plus important, la production de sirop d'érable génère davantage de retombées économiques par hectare. Le rapport souligne également la nature non substituable de la production de sirop d'érable et la forte concentration de l'activité économique dans la production de sirop d’érable, par rapport à la récolte de feuillus durs. Le rapport indique que la priorisation de l’activité acéricole sur les érablières en terres publiques conduirait à une allocation des ressources plus optimale sur le plan économique. Il met également en évidence le potentiel d'intégration de la production de sirop d'érable avec les efforts de conservation et la mise en place d’aires protégées, ce qui s'aligne sur les objectifs de biodiversité du Québec.
