What the figures say

  • In 2024, Cuba produced 7,369 tonnes of natural honey (imputed value).

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • That places it 35 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 0.4% of world production.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • Compared with 2000 (6,900 t), production rose by 7%.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • The highest figure in the series is 10,500 t in 2021, the lowest 2,700 t in 1963.

    Confirmed fact[1]

  • FAO counts 220,961 beehives in 2024 (imputed value). That is 42 of 98 countries.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • Dividing the two figures gives about 33.3 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]
