What the figures say

  • In 2024, Venezuela produced 594 tonnes of natural honey (imputed value).

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • That places it 95 of 121 countries with a FAOSTAT figure for 2024, about 0.0% of world production.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • Compared with 2000 (403 t), production rose by 47%.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • The highest figure in the series is 1,008 t in 2017, the lowest 88 t in 1981.

    Confirmed fact[1]

  • FAO counts 10,415 beehives in 2024 (FAO estimate). That is 83 of 98 countries.

    Statistical estimate[1]

  • Dividing the two figures gives about 57.0 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: 71 tonnes in 2024 (FAO estimate).

    Statistical estimate[1]
