What the figures say
In 2024, Egypt produced 3,782 tonnes of natural honey (imputed value).
Statistical estimate[1]That places it 52 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 0.2% of world production.
Statistical estimate[1]Compared with 2000 (8,267 t), production fell by 54%.
Statistical estimate[1]The highest figure in the series is 12,384 t in 1987, the lowest 2,140 t in 1961.
Confirmed fact[1]FAO counts 714,869 beehives in 2024 (imputed value). That is 20 of 98 countries.
Statistical estimate[1]Dividing the two figures gives about 5.3 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]Beeswax production: 118 tonnes in 2024 (imputed value).
