      The most important crops of the World


The most important crops of the world are wheat, rice, and maize. These three crops are vital for the food supply of many countries. The production of these three crops is very important for people to survive. They have been staples for many people in different parts of the world.

Wheat is a hardy grass which grows in the fields during the spring and summer months. Most wheat is grown in Asia, North America and Europe. Wheat is used as food and also used in making breads, pastries and cakes etc.

Rice is a cereal grain which belongs to the grass family. It grows on water bodies like rivers or lakes where there is plenty of water during rainy season to grow rice plants. Rice is grown in Asia, South America and Africa too.

Maize (corn) is a grain plant which grows during summer months only when temperatures remain above 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit). Maize can be found all over the world but it mostly grows in American continent where it is used as foodstuff or animal feed too.

The most important crops of the world are rice and wheat.

Rice is a staple food for many people in Asia, where it is cultivated on about half of all arable land. It is also an important crop in the Americas and Africa, but it has never been a major crop in Europe or Oceania. Wheat is grown intensively in temperate regions and across North America, northern Europe and Australia. Rye, barley, triticale (a mixture of wheat and rye), and oats are also grown widely through temperate regions. In addition to these grains, other starchy plants such as potatoes and sweet potatoes are cultivated for food or feed use. Globally, rice accounts for about half the production of cereals, while wheat plays an important role in nutrition because of its high protein content. Teff is another cereal crop that is grown in many parts of Africa.
