Analysis
In 2023, rice — emissions intensity in Zambia stood at 2.19 kg CO2eq/kg.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 25.6% on the previous year and up 12.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, rice — emissions intensity in Zambia peaked at 13.56 kg CO2eq/kg in 1968 and was at its lowest, 1.49 kg CO2eq/kg, in 2010.
That places Zambia 48th out of 127 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.
