What the figures say

  • In 2024, Pakistan produced 5,277 tonnes of natural honey (imputed value).

    Statistical estimate[1]
  • That places it 43 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 0.3% of world production.

    Statistical estimate[1]
  • Compared with 2000 (1,500 t), production rose by 252%.

    Statistical estimate[1]
  • The highest figure in the series is 5,277 t in 2024, the lowest 600 t in 1972.

    Confirmed fact[1]
  • FAO counts 384,742 beehives in 2024 (imputed value). That is 33 of 98 countries.

    Statistical estimate[1]
  • Dividing the two figures gives about 13.7 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: 463 tonnes in 2024 (imputed value).

    Statistical estimate[1]
