What the figures say

  • In 2024, Honduras produced 90 tonnes of natural honey (FAO estimate).

    Statistical estimate[1]
  • That places it 111 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 0.0% of world production.

    Statistical estimate[1]
  • Compared with 2000 (167 t), production fell by 46%.

    Statistical estimate[1]
  • The highest figure in the series is 1,586 t in 1982, the lowest 90 t in 2024.

    Confirmed fact[1]
  • FAO counts 8,482 beehives in 2024 (FAO estimate). That is 84 of 98 countries.

    Statistical estimate[1]
  • Dividing the two figures gives about 10.6 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: 20 tonnes in 2024 (FAO estimate).

    Statistical estimate[1]
