Analysis
In 2023, rice — emissions intensity in Ethiopia stood at 1.6 kg CO2eq/kg.
That represents a change of up 8.2% on the previous year and down 9.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, rice — emissions intensity in Ethiopia peaked at 22.88 kg CO2eq/kg in 2007 and was at its lowest, 1.48 kg CO2eq/kg, in 2022.
Ethiopia ranks 66th of 127 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions intensities contains analytical data on the intensity of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by agricultural commodity. This indicator is defined as greenhouse gas emissions per kg of product. Data are available for a set of agricultural commodities (e.g. rice and other cereals, meat, milk, eggs), by country, with global coverage.
