What the figures say
In 2023, Romania produced 31,541 tonnes of natural honey (official figure).
Confirmed fact[1]That places it 1 of 6 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2023, about 1.6% of world production.
Statistical estimate[1]Compared with 2000 (11,746 t), production rose by 169%.
Statistical estimate[1]The highest figure in the series is 31,541 t in 2023, the lowest 4,400 t in 1961.
Confirmed fact[1]FAO counts 2,396,000 beehives in 2023 (official figure). That is 2 of 17 countries.
Confirmed fact[1]Dividing the two figures gives about 13.2 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.
