India is the world's largest emitter of agriculture-related greenhouse gases. In 2020, the agriculture sector in the South Asian country emitted nearly 742 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO₂e). More than half of India's agricultural emissions (excluding energy emissions) came from enteric fermentation. China and Brazil were the second and third-largest contributors to global agriculture emissions that year, having released 654 and 519 MtCO₂e, respectively.
