What the figures say

  • In 2024, Angola produced 23,423 tonnes of natural honey (imputed value).

    Statistical estimate[1]
  • That places it 18 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 1.2% of world production.

    Statistical estimate[1]
  • Compared with 2000 (23,140 t), production rose by 1%.

    Statistical estimate[1]
  • The highest figure in the series is 24,000 t in 2005, the lowest 13,551 t in 1972.

    Confirmed fact[1]
  • FAO counts 1,202,923 beehives in 2024 (imputed value). That is 14 of 98 countries.

    Statistical estimate[1]
  • Dividing the two figures gives about 19.5 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]
  • Beeswax production: 2,321 tonnes in 2024 (imputed value).

    Statistical estimate[1]
