Analysis
Ethiopia recorded 0.5027 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from agriculture in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 5.3% on the previous year and up 47.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from agriculture in Ethiopia peaked at 0.5027 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.01 Mt CO2e, in 1985.
That places Ethiopia 39th out of 109 countries with data for 2024, 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
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agricultural sector. This includes emissions from livestock (IPCC 2006 codes 3.A.1 (enteric fermentation, 3.a.2 (manure management) and crops (IPCC 2006 codes 3.C.1 Emissions from biomass burning, 3.C.2 Liming, 3.C.3 Urea application, 3.C.4 Direct N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.5 Indirect N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.6 Indirect N2O Emissions from manure management, 3.C.7 Rice cultivations). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
