Analysis
In 2023, food processing — emissions in Brazil stood at 19,748 kt. That is the highest value across all 16 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.7% on the previous year and up 57,322.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, food processing — emissions in Brazil peaked at 19,748 kt in 2023 and was at its lowest, 4.59 kt, in 2008.
That places Brazil 8th out of 112 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.
