Analysis
Japan recorded 49.06 TJ for food processing — energy use in 2023.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 92.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, food processing — energy use in Japan peaked at 2,083 TJ in 1995 and was at its lowest, 47.78 TJ, in 2020.
That places Japan 46th out of 56 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain Emissions from Pre- and Post-Agricultural Production provides estimates of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and related activity data associated with pre- and post-production stages of agrifood systems. The domain includes methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), fluorinated gases (F-gases) and their aggregates expressed in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq). Estimates are computed following Tier 1 methods of the IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014) and are disseminated annually.
