Quebec Maple Syrup Producers (QMSP; French: Producteurs et productrices acéricoles du Québec, PPAQ) is a federated organization that regulates the production and marketing of maple syrup from Quebec. It was known as the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers (French: Fédération des producteurs acéricoles du Québec, FPAQ) until 2018.[4] As of 2011, the FPAQ produced 94% of Canadian maple syrup and 77% of the world's supply.[5]

The QMSP plays a role in the collective marketing of maple products and in organizing sales inside and outside the province.
