China was the world's largest methane emitter from agricultural processes in 2023. China, which is now the world's largest producer of food, emitted over 630 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO₂e) methane from processes such as enteric fermentation. India and Brazil followed with emissions of roughly 560 and 470 MtCO₂e, respectively.
