Question

What are the six most important food crops on Earth?

Answer 1

Grain, rice, potatoes, corn, coffee and sugarcane. I think these are the most important crops.

Answer 2

Top 3 food crops are:

1. Rice

2. Wheat

3. Maize

The rest 3 are different for different countries.

Answer 3

That is a very hard question to answer because not all crops are needed equally in different areas. I think, in general the grain group is what is mainly needed and most important. In order, the  top three would probably be wheat, rice, and then corn. Wheat is commonly produced all around the world and is used for numerous things. Cereal, breads, just basically anything bread-like. As for rice, it is VERY common food all over china, Asia, and most third-world communist countries. It can be commonly produced and is a vital part of health. Corn is something that is produced mostly in the US but is also a vital part of health and does provide for some the gasoline asked upon by countries. Potatoes would probably come next as they are easily grown and are used and eaten as a complete meal because of their high starched attributes. As for the last two, it would be hard to say, as the first four are the basic ones. It'd probably be peanuts and apples as peanuts are VERY easy to grow and are extremely high in proteins and account for many uses of today. Apples are the basic "fruit" and otherwise known as a healthy dessert. They are very high in vitimen C which prevent scurvy in some countries but have a short shelf life. Oranges might be more useful as they have a longer shelf life and a peel.
