China was the world's largest methane emitter from agricultural processes in 2022. China, which is now the world's largest producer of food, emitted over 600 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 450 MtCO₂e, respectively.
