Italy ranks 6th in Europe with over 22,000 agricultural companies and 1.6 million hives, with 80% managed by professional beekeepers, according to the Crea Report. The honey production in 2022 reached approximately 23,000 tons, but it is still insufficient to meet the demand, leading to imports of approximately 26,500 tons.
