What the figures say

  • In 2024, Dominican Republic produced 866 tonnes of natural honey (official figure).

    Confirmed fact[1]
  • That places it 86 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 0.0% of world production.

    Statistical estimate[1]
  • Compared with 2000 (1,345 t), production fell by 36%.

    Statistical estimate[1]
  • The highest figure in the series is 3,228 t in 2003, the lowest 562 t in 1961.

    Confirmed fact[1]
  • FAO counts 96,898 beehives in 2024 (imputed value). That is 59 of 98 countries.

    Statistical estimate[1]
  • Dividing the two figures gives about 8.9 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: 1,139 tonnes in 2024 (imputed value).

    Statistical estimate[1]
