Honey consumption by country per person

A glass jar of raw honey

In this article, we will find out what is the average amount of honey consumed per person by country in 2023. We will use statistical data from FAOSTAT, Trade Map, UN Population Division, Honey market reserch.

Top 30 countries by honey consumption in 2023

Honey consumption
Source: FAOSTAT, TradeMap, UN Population Division

The leader in honey consumption per person in 2023 is the Central African Republic (3.25 kg). It seems surprising, but based on the data on honey production, the lack of honey exports and imports in the Central African Republic, and the number of people, we get this figure. In second place is Greece (2.49 kg), in third place is Croatia (2.23 kg.) Further in descending order are the countries in the table.

Method of calculation of honey consumption

To calculate honey consumption in 2023, we take the data on honey production (FAOSTAT), subtract the data on exports and add the data on honey imports (Trade Map). We divide this sum by the number of inhabitants in the country (UN Population Division). As a result, we get the amount of honey consumed per person. Of course, it should be recognised that there may be some inaccuracy in the data provided by countries. But nevertheless, we have no other data, and we proceed on this basis. Below is a table with data on the basis of which we have calculated honey consumption.

Average world honey consumption per person in 2023

If we take the data on honey production based on FAOSTAT and the number of people on earth based on UN Population Division in 2023, we get: 1,893,805,480 kg / 8,093,144,409 people = 234 grams of honey consumed by an average person in the world per year.
