Analysis
The most recent figure for rice — emissions intensity in Zimbabwe is 177.82 kg CO2eq/kg, measured in 2023. That is the highest value across all 63 years on record.
That represents a change of up 488.1% on the previous year and up 1,512.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, rice — emissions intensity in Zimbabwe peaked at 177.82 kg CO2eq/kg in 2023 and was at its lowest, 2.53 kg CO2eq/kg, in 1963.
That places Zimbabwe 3rd 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.
