Among the producing municipalities, it stands out Conceição do Canindé (PI), located in the interior of Piauí, which stands out with an impressive per capita average.
Conceição do Canindé (PI), a municipality with approximately 5 thousand inhabitants, achieved an incredible average of 57 kg of honey per resident in its local production.
This means that the city's per capita average is about ten times higher than the national average. This is the highest per capita volume of honey production in the country.

When it comes to absolute honey production, the municipality of Arapoti, located in the interior of Paraná, takes the top spot in the ranking, with a volume practically equivalent to 1 million kilos collected in 2022, despite its population of 25 thousand inhabitants.
Honey production is intrinsically linked to the pollination of flowers by bees. These insects collect nectar from flowers, transformed into honey, while simultaneously transporting pollen from one flower to another, stimulating pollination.
This process not only results in the production of honey, but also has a positive impact on the flowering of orchards and, consequently, on an increase in the fruit harvest.
It is a symbiosis in which both bees and plants flourish together, benefiting each other.
Conceição do Canindé, in addition to leading in per capita honey production, is a true fruit oasis. The city harvested an impressive harvest of 840 tons of watermelon, also becoming one of the main hubs for this fruit in the country.

This diversification in agricultural production contributes to the local economy and strengthens the municipality's reputation as an important food production center.
Arapoti is another Brazilian city that stands out in fruit production. With a diverse harvest, local farmers harvested 435 tons of persimmons in 2022, becoming one of the main hubs for this food.
The region also stands out in the cultivation of peaches, with 228 tons; apples, with 56 tons; passion fruit, with 46 tons, in addition to five other varieties of crops.
