In 2023, the natural honey yield in the US stood at 240 hectograms. The forecast for 2024 indicates a production value of 237 hectograms, representing a slight decrease of 1.25% from the previous year. Further projections show annual declines of approximately 1.27% in 2025, 1.28% in 2026, 0.87% in 2027, and 1.31% in 2028. Over the last two years, the yield has shown a downward trend, with a cumulative average growth rate (CAGR) of -1.199% annually over this five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of climate change on natural honey yields, changes in land use, and the health of bee populations. Additionally, advancements in beekeeping technology and practices may mitigate some of the declines in yield noted in these forecasts.
