Heavily indebted poor countries (HIPC) - Nitrous oxide emissions

Agricultural nitrous oxide emissions (thousand metric tons of CO2 equivalent)

The value for Agricultural nitrous oxide emissions (thousand metric tons of CO2 equivalent) in Heavily indebted poor countries (HIPC) was 288,760 as of 2018. As the graph below shows, over the past 28 years this indicator reached a maximum value of 288,760 in 2018 and a minimum value of 174,070 in 1990.

Definition: Agricultural nitrous oxide emissions are emissions produced through fertilizer use (synthetic and animal manure), animal waste management, agricultural waste burning (nonenergy, on-site), and savannah burning.
