Food Transport — Energy Use in Eastern Asia, 1990–2023
Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Measured in TJ.
Analysis
Eastern Asia recorded 2,244 TJ for food transport — energy use in 2023. That is the lowest value across all 34 years on record.
The figure is down 86.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, food transport — energy use in Eastern Asia peaked at 68,576 TJ in 1991 and was at its lowest, 2,244 TJ, in 2022.
That places Eastern Asia 3rd out of 25 groups 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 from Pre- and post- agricultural production includes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and related activity data, generated from pre- and post-agriculture production stages of the agri-food 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). The domain includes methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and CO2 equivalent (CO2eq) emissions from the above activities as well as the aggregate fluorinated gases (F-gases) emissions. Estimates are available by country, with global coverage and are updated annually.The FAOSTAT domain disseminates information estimates of CH4, N2O, CO2 emissions, F-gases, their aggregates in CO2eq in units of kilotonnes (kt, or 10^6 kg), and the underlying activity data. CO2eq emissions are computed by using the IPCC Fifth Assessment report global warming potentials, AR5 (IPCC, 2014). Data are available for most countries and territories, for standard FAOSTAT regional aggregations, and for Annex I and non-Annex I country groups.
