What the figures say

  • In 2024, Albania produced 5,940 tonnes of natural honey (official figure).

    Confirmed fact[1]

  • That places it 37 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 0.3% of world production.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • Compared with 2000 (1,076 t), production rose by 452%.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • The highest figure in the series is 5,940 t in 2024, the lowest 132 t in 1993.

    Confirmed fact[1]

  • FAO counts 587,296 beehives in 2024 (official figure). That is 23 of 98 countries.

    Confirmed fact[1]

  • Dividing the two figures gives about 10.1 kg of honey per hive. This is a ratio of two FAOSTAT numbers, not a measured yield: hives are counted at one moment, honey over a year.

    Statistical estimate[1]
