How Does The Maple Syrup Exchange Work?
FIRST, REGISTER AND BECOME A MEMBER OF THE MSE
REGISTER YOUR ACCOUNT with just a few simple steps. Click the “Register” button, and select who you want to represent. Members can be buyers or sellers/vendors; sellers are typically farmers. You will have to pay the MSE annual membership fees to be part of the exchange.
ONCE YOU REGISTER, FOLLOW THE NEXT STEPS
If you are a Seller, you will need to list your syrup or sugar, quantity, and price. As a Seller, you can choose the type of packaging you want to sell your product in. Packaging choices are standard in the industry, and sellers can assign a monetary value to their packaging, be it a stainless-steel barrel, epoxy barrel, or other container. Buyers will need to figure out shipping costs and delivery methods. The MSE simply connects buyers with sellers for effective price discovery and demand transparency. The MSE is offering to list syrup to the producers in 12 Northern U.S. states and all of Canada.
Can’t Find What You Want?
You are able to enter a request into the platform for a certain price or grade.
Shipment And Delivery
Once a Buyer selects a desired grade and quantity, a reservation will be made, and the Seller will be notified that their syrup contracts or partial contracts have been reserved. The Buyer will be matched with the Seller through the MSE trading platform matching engine. The Buyer and Seller will finish negotiating the time, delivery, and payment terms over the phone or by email, independently of the Exchange.
