Analysis
Gabon recorded 117.63 kt for food processing — emissions (co2eq) in 2023. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 125.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, food processing — emissions (co2eq) in Gabon peaked at 117.63 kt in 2022 and was at its lowest, 1.74 kt, in 1990.
That places Gabon 84th out of 122 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the middle of the range.
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.
