What the figures say

  • In 2024, Mozambique produced 599 tonnes of natural honey (imputed value).

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • That places it 94 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 0.0% of world production.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • Compared with 2000 (400 t), production rose by 50%.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • The highest figure in the series is 631 t in 2015, the lowest 240 t in 1968.

    Confirmed fact[1]

  • FAO counts 48,456 beehives in 2024 (FAO estimate). That is 72 of 98 countries.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • Dividing the two figures gives about 12.4 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: 91 tonnes in 2024 (FAO estimate).

    Statistical estimate[1]
