How does Egypt, a desert country that barely rains, feed nearly 100 million people?

Although it doesn't rain in Egypt, Egypt has the Nile River, and it has various industries that can generate income to feed these people.

First, Egypt has the Nile River, which can guarantee the Egyptians daily water. The survival of Egypt's 100 million people is largely due to the fact that the people of the Nile have benefited their lives from the Nile. Because where there are rivers, there is the growth of agriculture, and the basins on both sides of the Nile are very suitable for the growth of crops, although the area of crop cultivation is relatively small, the output is relatively small, and the land is not so fertile, but oil is better than nothing, plus Egypt has built a large dam before, which makes the daily water supply of the Egyptian people guaranteed, so even if it does not rain much, the Egyptians will not have the problem of water shortage.

Secondly, the income from the service sector and mineral resources in Egypt guarantees the living needs of ordinary Egyptians. There was no rain, but they had money. In that part of Egypt, there is no oil resources, but there are natural gas resources.

Natural gas is also money, Egypt's annual natural gas production has reached 600 million cubic meters, plus other 7788 kinds of mineral resources are developed, and then exported, Egyptians can earn about 1 billion US dollars every year through mineral resources.

Secondly, Egypt also has the world's best waterway, the Suez CanalThis is completely Egypt's geographical location, there is no way, more than 20,000 ships pass through this canal every year, which directly brings Egypt an income of 5 billion US dollars, which is completely sitting and counting money, plus Egypt is still one of the four ancient civilizations, and the miraculous buildings such as the pyramids and sphinxes owned by Egypt directly bring a lot of tourism income to Egypt.

Secondly, Egypt can get a lot of foreign exchange every year, and then use this money to buy grainAt the same time, it can also get economic relief from the United States, so the cost of 100 million people can be easily earned.

Egypt is very rich in oil resources, and it can feed its 100 million people by exporting oil resources alone. What's more, Egypt also has a treaty port near the sea, and you can also collect some money.

First of all, we need to understand that water is the source of lifeEgypt is home to the Nile, the longest river in the worldAll civilizations originated in rivers, and there are a number of oases on both sides of the Nile, which can naturally feed 100 million people.

Although it rarely rains, he still has groundwater, after all, there are many rivers in the surrounding countries, and the water flowing to Egypt can naturally feed so many people.

To the south of Egypt is Sudan. To the south of Egypt, then, is the northern region of Sudan.

The northern part of Sudan still belongs to the Sahara Desert, but the Sahara Desert also has a name here, called the "Nubian Desert".

In fact, the Nubian Desert is still part of the Sahara Desert, the eastern part of the Sahara Desert.

The western desert west of the Nile River is also known as the Libyan Desert. It is part of the Sahara Desert, the largest desert in the world, and occupies about 2 3 of Egypt's area. It is 350,500 metres above sea level in the south, about 1,000 metres above sea level on the Grand Gilelev Plateau, and many depressions in the central and northern regions, with the largest area being the Getara Depression.

Oases are formed by depressions with groundwater. The Eastern Desert east of the Nile, also known as the Arabian Desert. It is close to the coast of the Red Sea, the terrain slopes from east to west, and the Red Sea coast is mountainous, with an altitude of about 1,500 meters.

Although Egypt is a desert country, Egypt has many ways to make money, so even if there are more than 90 million people in the country, it can still be fed. There are many desert countries in the world today, and there are also many countries with a population of more than 90 million. However, Egypt is the only place where a country is both a desert country and has a population of 90 million at the same time.

Therefore, many people are full of doubts about what Egypt relies on to feed so many people, and the following is an introduction to why Egypt can feed tens of millions of people.

First of all, Egypt has a lot of fertile land on both sides of the Nile, which produces a lot of food for Egypt every year. The Nile River in Egypt is a mother river, just like our Yangtze River and Yellow River. The water of the Nile brings a lot of nutrients to the land on both sides of the river every year, so that the crops in the fields can grow strongly.

In addition, Egypt itself also invests a lot in agricultural science and technology, so Egypt can harvest a lot of grain every year.

Egypt's second financial route is the Suez Canal and its domestic tourism resources. Compared with other desert countries, Egypt's geographical location is unique, the Suez Canal is a transportation artery connecting the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, and passing ships have to pay a lot of tolls to Egypt every year. Egypt's pyramids and other tourism resources are also very famous in the world, not only providing a lot of jobs, but also bringing huge income to Egypt every year.

Egypt is also very rich in mineral resources, and it is also a way for Egypt to make a lot of money to feed tens of millions of people. Although most of Egypt is a desert, Egypt is rich in mineral resources, natural gas resources, and especially oil resources. Therefore, Egypt can not only harvest a lot of grain every year, but also get a lot of cash, and it is no problem to import grain through cash to feed 90 million people.

Although it is a desert country, it is quite rich in natural resources, including mineral resources such as oil and natural gas. , exporting these things is a very considerable income, and there is the Suez Canal, which can also bring a lot of income, as well as tourism and so on.

Because many of them will try to do it, and they can use it for other countries to support themselves.

Because it has many industries to get rich, oil reserves are abundant, exports can be sold for a lot of money, and Egypt, which has a splendid civilization, is also a tourist attraction, so it is a lot of wealth, and Egypt is still very rich.

As a desert country, in fact, there are still many opportunities for development, which can rely on planting, and the development of some light industries is also very good.

Since it is a desert country, there are many plants and animals, so there can be food for humans. The most important thing is that an oasis in the desert can provide enough water for people to live.

This is probably due to the gift of the Nile, the convenience of coastal transportation, and the wisdom and industrious creation of the Egyptian people. The specific reasons for this are as follows:

On the banks of the great river, thousands of miles of fertile fields

As we all know, world civilization originated from great rivers, whether it is the Ganges, the Euphrates, the Yellow River, the Amazon River, etc., all of themHumans built cities on the banks of their rivers and opened up wasteland. More and more advanced forms of civilization have been produced.

The Nile River rushes from south to northA large amount of sediment carried from the upstream is deposited along the river and in the downstream area. Therefore, as the mother of human agriculture, after sowing the first wheat seed, it will soon be possible to harvest 10,000 quintals of beams in autumn, so the well-fed people here have pushed civilization one step forward. As a result, the mysterious ancient Egyptian civilization began to shine brightly, and more and more people were nurtured here.

Connecting the three continents, frequent exchanges

At the same time, human exploration has not stopped, whether it is the Vikings who made ships their home, or the speeding Carthaginian clippers in the Mediterranean, or the caravans from the valley of the two rivers, and the ore from Nubia. will be ancient Egypt tightly,and the civilizations of Eurasia and Africa

As a result, the frequent exchange of culture and material made the development of civilization here more and more advanced, and people used the inexhaustible food to store and exchange materials from all over the world, so ancient Egypt received world-class material support, and the population surged again

The people are great, and miracles are created

At the same time, under the condition of material abundance, the great creativity of the people here has been released. Their creative adjustment of production relations, the improvement and breeding of grain, fruits, and vegetables, and the creative development of various science and technology have all made remarkable achievements。These have made a glorious civilizationAncient Egypt was much more livable.

Children and grandchildren multiply and methodically.

After entering the modern society, scientific progress has accelerated, and industrialization and informatization have been accelerated. This also benefited ancient Egypt, which was nurtured by the Nile, once again.

Because Egypt's tourism industry is relatively developed, and it is rich in cultural archaeology and other aspects. An ancient civilization is also rich in assets left over from ancient times.

Because Egypt has the Nile, most of the inhabitants live on the banks of the Nile, and the river feeds nearly 100 million people.

Egypt has many deserts, but not all deserts, there are also plains and oases. There was water, vegetation, animals, and the Egyptians were able to survive by animal husbandry and breeding.

The abundant oil resources and the lucrative Suez Canal have indeed allowed the desert country of Egypt to feed enough for 90 million inhabitants. When you think of Egypt, you may remember the magnificent pyramids and the Sphinx, but you don't know that this desert country is home to more than 90 million people! What is there here to feed so many people?

Don't underestimate Egypt, there is indeed a lot of income here that we can't imagine, and Egypt, as a big oil country, can indeed rely on oil to make its residents live a stable life.

1. Egypt, as a major oil exporter, can earn a very high income every year just for oil exports

Although Egypt has tourism, it has not been optimistic in recent years after the tourism industry is full, and it is the local oil industry that has made Egypt have been satisfied. As one of the strongest oil exporters, Egypt can meet the basic needs of its residents every year by exporting oil alone; For the local residents, oil is what they are most proud of, after all, the income here can help the inhabitants of the desert country to live a stable life, although it does not make the residents rich, but at least there is no lot of thinking situation.

Second, the Suez Canal, which has the world's most expensive "bridge tolls", has given Egypt a good income to feed enough people

In addition to oil, another powerful source of income in Egypt is the Suez Canal, where it is said that every passing ship has to pay a minimum of 500,000 yuan! Why is the "bridge toll" of the Suez Canal so expensive, and why are ships from many countries passing through? It is because it can really reduce the number of voyages and most importantly, ensure the safety of ships, so many countries will choose the Suez Canal directly when shipping expensive goods, rather than taking long distances.

With the income from the Suez Canal, it is certainly easy to feed the lives of 90 million residents.

With the Suez Canal and oil, it's really easy to feed Egypt's 90 million inhabitants.

Although they have a lot of deserts, they will use the desert to make products, and they can refine a large number of ** to maintain people's lives.

96% of Egypt's land is desert, but the Nile River flows through Egypt for a total length of 1,530 kilometers, forming a 10,000-kilometer Nile Delta, rich in products and supporting the country of Egypt.

Egypt, the four ancient civilizations, is 95% desert, and can it still occupy an African power? Feed more than 100 million people.

Egypt still has some access to food and precious water resources, but now the population is growing explosively, so this is also a problem for Egypt.

The reason why Egypt can feed so many people is also because of other countries, and people in Egypt can only eat with their mouths.

Egypt, which is dominated by deserts, is able to feed more than 100 million people, mainly because Egypt is mainly engaged in business rather than producing crops. Another important reason is that the people of Africa are very hard-working people, not people who like to work hard.

Egypt has a large population. But they say that the environment in Africa is harsh. But thankfully, they have the Nile, which provides good conditions for their survival. Where there is water, then there is life.

Because of the Nile River, on both sides of the river, almost all of Egypt's arable land and 96% of the population and cities are concentrated, so ancient Greek historians have said that without this river, Egypt would cease to exist.

Because Egypt also has their mother and the Nile, the water and grass on both sides of the Nile are fertile, and the land is fertile. They used the fertile land left over from the annual flooding of the Nile to grow a large amount of food to feed the Egyptians.

And according to the statistics of July 2019, the total population of Egypt has reached 99 million. Egypt's population department is also unable to seal an exaggerated statistic that Egypt is adding 4,500 people a day, which means that a new baby is born every 23 seconds. So many people are curious, Egypt is a desert country, why can it feed more than 90 million people?

I. Nurturing of the Nile.

The Nile is the only river that flows through Egypt and is also the mother river of Egypt, and in the era of ancient Egyptian civilization, the regular flooding of the Nile river created a good opportunity for the ancient Egyptians to engage in plantation on a regular basis. The area around the Nile River was the most fertile land, where the Egyptians could grow crops and produce all kinds of food to meet the needs of the Egyptians.

In 1970, the Egyptians built the Aswan Dam to store the water of the Nile, which was used to develop economic benefits such as agricultural irrigation, power generation, and aquaculture. The Egyptians relied on the Nile, the mother river, to feed so many people.

2. Egypt is a country with an ancient civilization and rich tourism resources.

3. The Suez Canal is also an important financial factor for Egypt.

The Suez Canal is a world-famous waterway and an important waterway connecting Europe and the Mediterranean region with the Indo-Pacific Ocean. More than 20,000 ships pass through the Suez Canal each year, and in 2018 the Suez Canal's waterway brought Egypt $5.7 billion in revenue.

Fourth, Egypt has a relatively large number of migrant workers, which has reduced the pressure on food.

Because of the large number of migrant workers in Egypt, this also reduces the pressure on Egypt's food, and at the same time generates remittance income for Egypt. At present, there are more than 3 million people working abroad in Egypt, and this part of the population is also the main source of Egyptian remittance income.

Although Egypt currently feeds hundreds of millions of people, due to its large deserts and poor land conditions, a large part of its food is imported. At present, Egypt's economic development is still very backward, and Egypt still has a long way to go if it wants its citizens to live a higher standard of life.
