Wrong. The answer is sugar cane.
Wheat is the third most grown cereal after rice and maize.
1. Corn
Annual Production 2008: 822,712,527 tons
Average Yield 2008: 5.1 tons/hectare
The rundown: Corn is the most produced grain in the world. It's a staple food for the majority of sub-Saharan Africa, and is a great source of carbohydrates, protein, iron, vitamin B, and minerals. Plus it is being used more and more for ethanol.
2. Wheat
Annual production 2008: 689,945,712 tons
Average Yield 2008: 3.1 tons/hectare
The rundown: Wheat covers more of the earth than any other crop. It's a resilient crop, growing in the dry and cold climates where rice and corn cannot. Wheat is the leading source of vegetable protein for humans worldwide.
3. Rice
Annual Production 2008: 685,013,374 tons
Average Yield 2008: 4.3 tons/hectare
The rundown: Rice may be even more important than corn as a food crop, since corn is used for other purposes outside consumption. Thus, rice is the source of more than 1/5th of all calories consumed by humans. It may also be the thirstiest crop: according to the U.N., farmers need at least 2,000 liters of water to make one kilogram of rice.
4. Potatoes
Annual Production 2008: 314,140,107 tons
Average Yield 2008: 17.2 tons/hectare
The rundown: Potatoes are the number one non-grain food product. Originally grown in the Andes, the Spanish introduced Europe to the potato in the 16th century and the starchy crop hasn't looked back since. China is now the largest potato-producer worldwide.
5. Cassava
Annual Production 2008: 232,950,180 tons
Average Yields 2008: 12.5 tons/hectare
The rundown: Cassava's importance in Africa and South America can not be overstated. As a drought-resistant crop that does well in poor soils, cassava is a starch-heavy lifesaver for low-income areas. Cassava eaters know that the
roots and leaves must be cooked in order to lose that toxic level of cyanogenic
glucosides.
