What the figures say

  • In 2024, Guinea-Bissau produced 172 tonnes of natural honey (FAO estimate).

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • That places it 105 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 0.0% of world production.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • Compared with 2000 (98 t), production rose by 76%.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • The highest figure in the series is 172 t in 2024, the lowest 57 t in 1990.

    Confirmed fact[1]

  • FAO counts 6,671 beehives in 2024 (imputed value). That is 88 of 98 countries.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • Dividing the two figures gives about 25.8 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: 100 tonnes in 2024 (imputed value).

    Statistical estimate[1]
