What the figures say

  • In 2024, Jordan produced 418 tonnes of natural honey (official figure).

    Confirmed fact[1]

  • That places it 97 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 0.0% of world production.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • Compared with 2000 (100 t), production rose by 318%.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • The highest figure in the series is 418 t in 2024, the lowest 35 t in 1968.

    Confirmed fact[1]

  • FAO counts 84,442 beehives in 2024 (official figure). That is 61 of 98 countries.

    Confirmed fact[1]

  • Dividing the two figures gives about 5.0 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.
