What the figures say

  • In 2024, Morocco produced 8,000 tonnes of natural honey (official figure).

    Confirmed fact[1]

  • That places it 33 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 0.4% of world production.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • Compared with 2000 (2,500 t), production rose by 220%.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • The highest figure in the series is 8,000 t in 2024, the lowest 650 t in 1966.

    Confirmed fact[1]

  • FAO counts 393,550 beehives in 2024 (imputed value). That is 32 of 98 countries.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • Dividing the two figures gives about 20.3 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: 54 tonnes in 2024 (imputed value).

    Statistical estimate[1]
