Brazil currently reports 5,313 kt against 4,180 kt in Australia, a difference of 1,133 kt.
That makes Brazil's figure about 1.3 times Australia's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 34 shared years of data; in 1990 it was Australia ahead.
Australia ranks 9th and Brazil ranks 6th of 133 countries.
Across the 4 decades both report, Australia averaged higher in 3 and Brazil in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Australia | Brazil | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 8,076 kt | 1,036 kt | 7,040 kt | Australia |
| 2000s | 9,880 kt | 1,282 kt | 8,598 kt | Australia |

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.
