What the figures say
In 2024, El Salvador produced 1,840 tonnes of natural honey (FAO estimate).
Statistical estimate[1]That places it 70 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 0.1% of world production.
Statistical estimate[1]Compared with 2000 (1,070 t), production rose by 72%.
Statistical estimate[1]The highest figure in the series is 3,800 t in 1999, the lowest 800 t in 1961.
Confirmed fact[1]FAO counts 216,235 beehives in 2024 (imputed value). That is 43 of 98 countries.
Statistical estimate[1]Dividing the two figures gives about 8.5 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.
Statistical estimate[1]Beeswax production: 217 tonnes in 2024 (imputed value).
