Pre- and post-production — Emissions (CO2eq) (AR5) (Pre- CO2eq AR5) over time
- Asia
- China
How they compare
Asia currently reports 2.86 million kt against 1.36 million kt in China, a difference of 1.51 million kt.
That makes Asia's figure about 2.1 times China's.
Across all 34 years both countries report, Asia has been ahead every year.
Asia ranks 3rd and China ranks 2nd of 34 groups.
Asia has averaged higher in every one of the 4 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Asia | China | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 1.19 million kt | 487,900 kt | 706,335 kt | Asia |
| 2000s | 1.78 million kt | 841,599 kt | 941,986 kt | Asia |

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain Emissions from Pre- and Post-Agricultural Production provides estimates of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and related activity data associated with pre- and post-production stages of agrifood systems. The domain includes methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), fluorinated gases (F-gases) and their aggregates expressed in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq). Estimates are computed following Tier 1 methods of the IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014) and are disseminated annually.
