Analysis
Nigeria recorded 2.64 million t for rice — burning crop residues in 2050. That is the highest value across all 65 years on record.
Over the whole period, rice — burning crop residues in Nigeria peaked at 2.64 million t in 2050 and was at its lowest, 81,950 t, in 1961.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions from Crops provides estimates of emissions associated with crop processes, namely 1) crop residues, 2) burning of crop residues, and 3) rice cultivation and the application of nitrogen (N) fertilizers, including mineral and chemical fertilizers, to soils. Estimates are computed at Tier 1 following the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 2006).
