Top 7 Most Important Crops In The World
Hello Everyone,👋👋👋
This video is about Top 7 Most Important Crops In The World
@Top Seven
1. Corn
Annual Production : 822,712,527 tons
Average Yield : 5.1 tons/hectare
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 : 689,945,712 tons
Average Yield: 3.1 tons/hectare
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 : 685,013,374 tons
Average Yield : 4.3 tons/hectare
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: 314,140,107 tons
Average Yield : 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: 232,950,180 tons
Average Yields : 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.
6. Soybeans
Annual Production : 230,952,636 tons
Average Yield : 2.4 tons/hectare
The rundown: Soybeans are on double duty as both nutritious for humans -- with significant amino acids, protein and oil -- and for soil as a natural fertilizer. It produces twice as much protein per acre as any other major vegetable crop. Supply is far outweighed by demand for this energizer bean.
7. Sorghum
Annual Production : 65,534,273 tons
Average Yield : 1.5 tons/hectare
Sorghum is the Seventh most important cereal crop worldwide. It is drought and heat tolerant and thus an important crop in arid regions where major cereals do not produce sufficient yields. Consumption of sorghum, however, has decreased considerably in many African countries, especially in urban areas.
Arid regions love sorghum, a heat and drought-resistant crop. Though overall consumption of sorghum has gone down in many African countries, it's still considered the seventh most important cereal crop globally. Sorghum bicolor is the name of the edible plant -- it has other, wilder relatives that are grown as foliage.
