Carbon Emission Trends of Agricultural Product Proceeding Industry in China

In this paper we investigate the carbon dioxide emission trends of China's agricultural product proceeding industry from 1995 to 2011 with index decomposition analysis. The results show that carbon emission of the agricultural product proceeding sub-sectors presents an obviously upward trend with time series and there is a slowdown in the increase of carbon emission in recent years. The top three industries are textile industry, paper making and paper products industry and food manufacturing all the time. As to the influencing factors behind the stagnancy of carbon emission, the GDP per capita, energy structure and total population have a significant impact on carbon emission.
