What the figures say

  • In 2022, Palestinian Territories produced 500 tonnes of natural honey (FAO estimate).

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • That places it 2 of 2 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2022, about 0.0% of world production.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • Compared with 2000 (153 t), production rose by 227%.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • The highest figure in the series is 619 t in 1997, the lowest 153 t in 2000.

    Confirmed fact[1]

  • FAO counts 62,900 beehives in 2022 (imputed value). That is 1 of 1 countries.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • Dividing the two figures gives about 7.9 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]
