The federal government has made a total of $930,000 available as loans to three maple syrup producers in northern New Brunswick to help modernize their equipment. Dion said the loans will help producers keep up with technological advancements in the last few years. Frédérick Dion, the interim executive director of the New Brunswick Maple Syrup Association, said technology in the industry is evolving rapidly.

Aside from the three loans, Dion said other producers are receiving loans from either the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency or the New Brunswick Department of Agriculture.
