Asia vs OECD: Food Household Consumption — Emissions (CO2eq)
Food Household Consumption — Emissions (CO2eq) over time
- Asia
- OECD
How they compare
Asia currently reports 858,673 kt against 238,783 kt in OECD, a difference of 619,890 kt.
That makes Asia's figure about 3.6 times OECD's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 34 shared years of data; in 1990 it was OECD ahead.
Asia ranks 1st and OECD ranks 3rd of 45 groups.
Across the 4 decades both report, Asia averaged higher in 3 and OECD in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Asia | OECD | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 179,920 kt | 285,242 kt | 105,322 kt | OECD |
| 2000s | 339,439 kt | 312,389 kt | 27,050 kt | Asia |
| 2010s | 600,662 kt | 269,176 kt | 331,486 kt | Asia |
| 2020s | 825,150 kt | 244,963 kt | 580,187 kt | Asia |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions from Pre- and post- agricultural production includes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and related activity data, generated from pre- and post-agriculture production stages of the agri-food systems. Data are computed following the Tier 1 methods of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014). The domain includes methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and CO2 equivalent (CO2eq) emissions from the above activities as well as the aggregate fluorinated gases (F-gases) emissions. Estimates are available by country, with global coverage and are updated annually.The FAOSTAT domain disseminates information estimates of CH4, N2O, CO2 emissions, F-gases, their aggregates in CO2eq in units of kilotonnes (kt, or 10^6 kg), and the underlying activity data. CO2eq emissions are computed by using the IPCC Fifth Assessment report global warming potentials, AR5 (IPCC, 2014). Data are available for most countries and territories, for standard FAOSTAT regional aggregations, and for Annex I and non-Annex I country groups.
