What the figures say
In 2024, Tunisia produced 3,675 tonnes of natural honey (imputed value).
Statistical estimate[1]That places it 53 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 0.2% of world production.
Statistical estimate[1]Compared with 2000 (2,500 t), production rose by 47%.
Statistical estimate[1]The highest figure in the series is 4,700 t in 2009, the lowest 210 t in 1968.
Confirmed fact[1]FAO counts 630,000 beehives in 2024 (FAO estimate). That is 22 of 98 countries.
Statistical estimate[1]Dividing the two figures gives about 5.8 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: 67 tonnes in 2024 (imputed value).
