Analysis
The most recent figure for food processing — emissions (co2eq) in Zimbabwe is 3,054 kt, measured in 2023. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 456.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, food processing — emissions (co2eq) in Zimbabwe peaked at 3,054 kt in 2022 and was at its lowest, 0 kt, in 1990.
That places Zimbabwe 28th out of 122 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the top quarter.
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.
