What the figures say

  • In 2024, Georgia produced 1,900 tonnes of natural honey (official figure).

    Confirmed fact[1]

  • That places it 68 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 0.1% of world production.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • Compared with 2000 (1,442 t), production rose by 32%.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • The highest figure in the series is 4,200 t in 2010, the lowest 284 t in 1993.

    Confirmed fact[1]

  • FAO counts 192,700 beehives in 2024 (official figure). That is 47 of 98 countries.

    Confirmed fact[1]

  • Dividing the two figures gives about 9.9 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]
