Analysis
India recorded 154,467 kt for pre- and post-production — emissions in 2023.
That represents a change of down 0.5% on the previous year and up 9.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, pre- and post-production — emissions in India peaked at 161,831 kt in 2016 and was at its lowest, 24,133 kt, in 1990.
That places India 5th out of 247 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.
