Analysis
Brazil recorded 8,813 TJ for food transport — energy use in 2023.
The figure is down 13.5% on the previous year and up 10.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, food transport — energy use in Brazil peaked at 10,902 TJ in 2007 and was at its lowest, 0 TJ, in 1992.
That places Brazil 8th out of 76 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 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.
