Egypt's leading agricultural product, based on production volume, is sugar beet.
In 2021, Egypt's agricultural sector saw substantial production of several key crops. Here's a breakdown of the top three, as detailed in a 2023 report:
| Crop | Production Volume (Metric Tons) |
|---|---|
| Sugar Beet | ~ 15 million |
| Sugar Cane | ~ 12.4 million |
| Wheat | ~ 9 million |
These figures highlight the importance of sugar beet to Egypt's agricultural output, exceeding both sugar cane and wheat in volume. While sugar cane is also a crucial crop, sugar beet takes the lead. In addition to these crops, many other fruits and vegetables are grown in Egypt, but these crops represent the most produced agricultural products by volume.
Therefore, to answer the question directly, **sugar beet** is the most produced agricultural product in Egypt.
