HoneyHQ

Honey production and trade by country

Choose a country, a continent or the world to see its honey production, hives, exports and imports from FAOSTAT — with every estimate marked, every missing year left blank rather than zero, and trade unit values only where the quantity can carry them.

Reset

204 countries and territories, the world and FAO’s five continents. The exporting country is where honey last left, not necessarily where it was harvested.

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: Slovenia.

Sources: FAOSTAT production and FAOSTAT trade. The world picture, and what each number can and cannot tell you: The global honey trade.

  • A missing figure means FAOSTAT holds none for that year, not that the country produced or traded nothing.
  • A trade unit value is declared value divided by quantity, in that year's dollars. It is not a retail, wholesale or farm-gate price, and it is not a measure of quality.
  • The exporting country is where the honey last left, not necessarily where it was harvested. Odd figures are questions about the data, not evidence about any honey.
  • Hives are counted differently between countries, and production per reported hive is not a beekeeper's yield.
