Analysis
Morocco recorded 3.09 kg CO2eq/kg for rice — emissions intensity in 2023.
That represents a change of down 9.5% on the previous year and down 28.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, rice — emissions intensity in Morocco peaked at 40.23 kg CO2eq/kg in 1985 and was at its lowest, 1.76 kg CO2eq/kg, in 1969.
That places Morocco 32nd out of 114 countries with data for 2023, putting it 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.
