What the figures say
In 2024, Mali produced 1,729 tonnes of natural honey (official figure).
Confirmed fact[1]That places it 71 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 0.1% of world production.
Statistical estimate[1]Compared with 2000 (316 t), production rose by 447%.
Statistical estimate[1]The highest figure in the series is 12,647 t in 1994, the lowest 173 t in 1999.
Confirmed fact[1]FAO counts 38,238 beehives in 2024 (imputed value). That is 75 of 98 countries.
Statistical estimate[1]Dividing the two figures gives about 45.2 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: 58 tonnes in 2024 (FAO estimate).
