What the figures say

  • In 2024, Guinea produced 1,065 tonnes of natural honey (FAO estimate).

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • That places it 79 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 0.1% of world production.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • Compared with 2000 (557 t), production rose by 91%.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • The highest figure in the series is 1,073 t in 2014, the lowest 400 t in 1990.

    Confirmed fact[1]

  • FAO counts 63,508 beehives in 2024 (imputed value). That is 67 of 98 countries.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • Dividing the two figures gives about 16.8 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: 132 tonnes in 2011 (FAO estimate).

    Statistical estimate[1]
