Honey calories have become the hottest foodstuff in the world, according to a new report from the United Nations.
The UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) reports that the number of honey calories consumed worldwide in 2016 reached 2,200 billion US dollars (1,800 billion euros).
The United States is the world’s largest producer of honey, followed by Germany and the UK.
The WHO has estimated that the world will need to import up to 4.5 billion tonnes of honey this year to meet the demand.
The report found that the honey supply has been growing, due to climate change, as global demand for honey increases.
“Climate change is already affecting our production, processing and consumption of honey.
It is expected that global demand will continue to increase in coming years,” said Joao Rodrigues, head of global food and agri-food policy at the FAO.
The food and agricultural organisation also said that global consumption of foodstuffs has increased, with consumption increasing by 6% per year since 2015.
According to the report, global consumption is expected to reach 7,500 billion US Dollars (6,400 billion euros) by 2020, and 7,600 billion US Dollar (6.4 billion euros), by 2030.
