Table 2. Overview of greenhouse gas emissions of the dairy production systems in East Africa

Parameters	Units	Ethiopia	Kenya	Tanzania	Uganda	Rwanda
Total cattle population	Million head	70.29	18.73	33.93	14.79	1.29
Dairy cattle population	Million head	22.93	16.85	16.65	10.93	0.87
Total GHG emissions	1,000 tons CO2-eq./year	167,300	15,766	19,172	12,438	1,214
Emission intensity	kg CO2-eq./L of milk	13.871)	4.6	9.3	7.8	6.9
Enteric CH4 emissions	1,000 tons CH4/year	2,0721)	366	430	282	27
	1,000 tons CO2-eq./year	116,300	12,444	14,617	9,593	909
Enteric CH4 to total GHG	%	69.52	79	76	77	75

The values were determined using Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) data [5] by multiplying the EI values and enteric CH₄ emissions of three dairy production systems by their respective population sizes. The sum of these values is then divided by the total cattle population [11].
