What are the 3 main crops in Egypt?

Answer 1

There are many more than 3 important crops in Egypt. Here are 7.

Cereals-- Rice is one of the major field crops, grown on nearly 500,000 feddans, and is considered the second most important export crop after cotton. Wheat is the major winter cereal grain crop and the third major crop in terms of area planted (about 600,000 feddans). Maize is the second most important crop (750,000 feddans), but at least 50% of its production is used for livestock and poultry feed.

Fiber Crops-- Cotton has traditionally been the most important fiber crop in Egypt and the leading agricultural export crop.

Sugar Crops-- Sugar cane is the main sugar crop in upper Egypt. About 90% of the yield is used for sugar extraction. Sugar beet also grows in large areas in the Nile delta, and contributes to the sugar industry in Egypt.

Food Legumes-- These include a number of bean crops that are used for human consumption, such as broad beans and soybeans.

Forage Crops-- Egyptian clover, berseem, is the major winter forage crop cultivated in the Nile Valley and delta. It is the most widely grown field crop and occupies an area which totals 1.2 million feddans.

Fruits-- Citrus, primarily Oranges that represent 85% of total citrus production, makes up 50% of total fruit production. The fruit-planted area has expanded over the last 30 years to reach about 200,000 feddans. Other subtropical fruits are also grown in Egypt, including grapes, stone fruits, and pome fruits.

Vegetables-- Tomatoes are grown in three seasons -- winter, summer, and autumn -- on about 3% of Egypt's total planted area. Losses in tomato crops have been large as a result of tomato leaf curl virus, early and late blight, and nematodes. Potatoes are the second most important vegetable after tomatoes, both in terms of cash value and total tonnage produced.
