FAOSTAT, extracted 2026-09-29. A dash is a year with no figure, never a zero. A unit value is declared trade value divided by quantity for the same year, in that year’s dollars, and is left blank under 100 t; it is not a retail, wholesale or farm-gate price. Hive counts are counted differently between countries, and production per hive is not a beekeeper’s yield. The honeys of this origin: Australia.
