Partly dependent on that, is this to be a "national" problem for the producing nation, the consuming nations or the in-betweeners on the "plum road"? | |

| Nov 21, 2021 at 12:52 | comment | added | Michael Richardson | There is a literal Maple Syrup Cartel in Quebec, Canada. 70% of global production is from there and production is strictly limited, by law. The Cartel is a private organization, but it has the full backing of the government of Quebec. Black Market maple syrup is a thing, and one of the largest thefts involved stealing a huge amount from the cartel's warehouse. | |

| Nov 20, 2021 at 21:58 | comment | added | AlexP | Just a note: plum trees were domesticated in the Stone Age. There was no China, there was no France. Of the most common kinds of plum trees, one (Prunus salicina, makes spherical non-waxy fruit, typically eaten raw) was probably domesticated in the Far East, the other (Prunus domestica, makes ovoid purple waxy fruit, eaten raw, or made into prunes or jam, or used to make brandy) was probably domesticated in (Eastern) Europe. (Only probably because neither species exists in the wild.) (The large-ish yellow plums sold in Europe are also P. domestica.) | |
