What the figures say

  • In 2024, Algeria produced 5,876 tonnes of natural honey (imputed value).

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • That places it 39 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 0.3% of world production.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • Compared with 2000 (1,054 t), production rose by 457%.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • The highest figure in the series is 7,356 t in 2018, the lowest 500 t in 1990.

    Confirmed fact[1]

  • FAO counts 440,934 beehives in 2024 (FAO estimate). That is 29 of 98 countries.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • Dividing the two figures gives about 13.3 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]
