Analysis
In 2023, rice — emissions intensity in France stood at 20.78 kg CO2eq/kg.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 5.2% on the previous year and down 9.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, rice — emissions intensity in France peaked at 82.04 kg CO2eq/kg in 1981 and was at its lowest, 6.91 kg CO2eq/kg, in 1961.
That places France 10th out of 127 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 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.
