What the figures say

  • In 2024, Paraguay produced 1,898 tonnes of natural honey (imputed value).

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • That places it 69 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 0.1% of world production.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • Compared with 2000 (1,680 t), production rose by 13%.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • The highest figure in the series is 1,898 t in 2024, the lowest 465 t in 1961.

    Confirmed fact[1]

  • FAO counts 60,380 beehives in 2024 (imputed value). That is 70 of 98 countries.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • Dividing the two figures gives about 31.4 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: 173 tonnes in 2024 (FAO estimate).

    Statistical estimate[1]
