What the figures say

  • In 2024, Cook Islands produced 1 tonnes of natural honey (imputed value).

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • That places it 121 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 0.0% of world production.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • The highest figure in the series is 1 t in 2024, the lowest 0 t in 1961.

    Confirmed fact[1]

  • FAO counts 47 beehives in 2024 (FAO estimate). That is 97 of 98 countries.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • Dividing the two figures gives about 21.3 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]
