What was agriculture in ancient Egypt?

More than one third of the working population is engaged in agriculture. Cultivated land accounts for only 4.5% of the country, and most of it is irrigated land. Intensive cultivation, two or three crops a year, is the country with the highest yield per unit area in Africa. It mainly produces long-staple cotton and rice, ranking first in Africa, corn and wheat ranking first in Africa, and sugarcane and peanuts are also produced. Agriculture plays an important role in Egypt's national economy. The rural population accounts for 52% of the national population. 1998 the arable land in China accounts for 3.5% of the national area. The government attaches great importance to agricultural development and the expansion of cultivated land. The main crops are cotton, wheat, rice, sorghum, corn, sugarcane, flax, peanuts, fruits and vegetables.
