What the figures say
In 2024, Lithuania produced 5,884 tonnes of natural honey (official figure).
Confirmed fact[1]That places it 38 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 0.3% of world production.
Statistical estimate[1]Compared with 2000 (816 t), production rose by 621%.
Statistical estimate[1]The highest figure in the series is 7,894 t in 2021, the lowest 816 t in 2000.
Confirmed fact[1]FAO counts 226,350 beehives in 2024 (official figure). That is 41 of 98 countries.
Confirmed fact[1]Dividing the two figures gives about 26.0 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.
