What the figures say
In 2024, Libya produced 786 tonnes of natural honey (imputed value).
Statistical estimate[1]That places it 87 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 0.0% of world production.
Statistical estimate[1]Compared with 2000 (780 t), production rose by 1%.
Statistical estimate[1]The highest figure in the series is 1,250 t in 1991, the lowest 29 t in 1973.
Confirmed fact[1]FAO counts 36,371 beehives in 2024 (imputed value). That is 76 of 98 countries.
Statistical estimate[1]Dividing the two figures gives about 21.6 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.
