What the figures say

  • In 2024, Tonga produced 10 tonnes of natural honey (imputed value).

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • That places it 117 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 0.0% of world production.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • Compared with 2000 (12 t), production fell by 17%.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • The highest figure in the series is 20 t in 1991, the lowest 10 t in 1961.

    Confirmed fact[1]

  • FAO counts 897 beehives in 2024 (imputed value). That is 94 of 98 countries.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • Dividing the two figures gives about 11.1 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]
