Analysis
The most recent figure for food processing — emissions (ch4) — fao tier 1 in China is 142.47 kt, measured in 2023.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 47.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, food processing — emissions (ch4) — fao tier 1 in China peaked at 286.28 kt in 2011 and was at its lowest, 0.0825 kt, in 1990.
That places China 1st out of 103 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 Totals summarizes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions disseminated in the FAOSTAT Climate Change domains of emissions from agrifood 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). Emissions from other economic sectors as defined by the IPCC are also disseminated in the domain for completeness.
