Analysis
Botswana recorded 1.13 kg CO2eq/kg for cereals excluding rice — emissions intensity in 2023.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 53.1% on the previous year and down 80.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cereals excluding rice — emissions intensity in Botswana peaked at 5.78 kg CO2eq/kg in 2013 and was at its lowest, 0.1472 kg CO2eq/kg, in 1972.
That places Botswana 16th out of 189 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions intensities contains analytical data on the intensity of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by agricultural commodity. This indicator is defined as greenhouse gas emissions per kg of product. Data are available for a set of agricultural commodities (e.g. rice and other cereals, meat, milk, eggs), by country, with global coverage.
