What the figures say
In 2024, Senegal produced 3,673 tonnes of natural honey (imputed value).
Statistical estimate[1]That places it 54 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 0.2% of world production.
Statistical estimate[1]Compared with 2000 (500 t), production rose by 635%.
Statistical estimate[1]The highest figure in the series is 3,927 t in 2015, the lowest 37 t in 1985.
Confirmed fact[1]FAO counts 310,882 beehives in 2024 (imputed value). That is 37 of 98 countries.
Statistical estimate[1]Dividing the two figures gives about 11.8 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: 374 tonnes in 2024 (FAO estimate).
