As an important factor affecting ecological sustainability, the food industry’s efficiency (EE) deserves great attention and control. In 2013, China implemented a carbon emissions trading policy (CETP) to limit from various industries promote optimization of environment. To explore sustainability China’s industry, identify factors EE study influence heterogeneity influencing mechanisms, impact CETP on which emits high volumes greenhouse gasses, requires evaluation. Many scholars have studied policy’s effect perspective EE, but they ignored is main emitting sector, there lack analyses factors. This reviewed implementation process characteristics in past decades. Using provincial panel data 2003 2019, this measured industry through difference-in-difference model, evaluated emission reduction economic effects characterized effectiveness, analysed its mechanism using three-stage mediating regression. The results showed that (1) significantly affected increased by 38.3% average experimental provinces compared with non-experimental provinces. (2) For was most significant manufacturing tobacco subsectors, these subsectors 66.0% 39.7%, respectively; meanwhile, not agriculture subsidiary processing beverage manufacturing. By industrial area, were higher eastern region central western regions. close 150%, while regions, it significant. (3) promoted improving energy consumption structure technological innovation. proportion coal decreased 6.34% average, innovation level 25.1% provinces’ industries. research findings indicate CEPT good practice worth spreading. enterprises emissions, should be paid low-carbon transformation upgrading management optimization. policymakers, targeted policies are needed establish national unified market so can controlled, gap between regional narrowed.
