What the figures say
In 2024, Russia produced 65,455 tonnes of natural honey (imputed value).
Statistical estimate[1]That places it 8 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 3.3% of world production.
Statistical estimate[1]Compared with 2000 (54,248 t), production rose by 21%.
Statistical estimate[1]The highest figure in the series is 74,868 t in 2014, the lowest 43,899 t in 1994.
Confirmed fact[1]FAO counts 2,671,205 beehives in 2024 (imputed value). That is 8 of 98 countries.
Statistical estimate[1]Dividing the two figures gives about 24.5 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.
