plowing and irrigation and harvesting. Agriculture has been adopted there in prehistoric times, the waters of the Nile River, which was inundated those lands annually Fimd water and silt land, and that was land irrigated annually regularly through what was known as Ri Alehiad, where this system is based on the division of land through the creation of barriers clay in

the form of channels flowing through which water to the basin, hence centered
agriculture on the banks, but with the passage of time has evolved those roads to the industrial irrigation in ancient Egypt, in order to maintain the excess water from the need at the time, and the delivery of water to lands not reached by water

flood, where they were digging more channels, and thus industrial irrigation rates

 for the Egyptians, which is a great achievement at the time, and requests the completion of this cooperation ruling the state with the people, and the History of the emergence of the ancient Egyptian civilization, which was agriculture Aa pillar and cornerstone tion and evolution. In the modern era attention to the agricultural sector and work to promote and develop it has increased, as has the state creates a giant irrigation projects, ranging from the Aswan High Dam, which

contributed to the achievement of water security in the state, and was one of the positives to create it The agricultural area has increased in the country. The importance of agriculture in Egypt in 2007, the Ministry of Agriculture with many steps and procedures, including the use of modern agricultural technology to implement the settlement program Laser agricultural land, so as to maximize the added value which was estimated at more than three hundred million pounds, as a result of irregular distribution, which led


to the success of the project to reach a high rate of growth in the agricultural year. From here kicked off Egypt as a result of this evolution towards a giant agricultural expansion projects, which resulted in saving many jobs, and reduce overpopulation in key areas, by Construction urban and sophisticated huge deep in the desert, through land reclamation, provide huge job opportunities. this resulted in it attracting agricultural investments on a


large scale in the country, as it constitutes the agricultural sector of importance in the national economy, as this sector is one of the main activities of the state, where he is running 30% of the country's workforce, the sector contributes about 16 0.7% of the total domestic production structure, and the agriculture sector in Egypt is responsible first and foremost for the provision of national food security, and provide many necessary for many of the major industries in the state the main raw materials.

Egypt witnessed in the Ottoman era revolution in the field of agriculture and irrigation, to the status of agriculture in the national economy in Egypt, where the Ottoman Empire to establish several large agricultural projects, such as the (sorrow, and braches, reservoirs, barrages), which led to the provision of large amounts of water necessary to irrigate agricultural land, through the Permanent irrigation system, which has increased in the swath of agricultural country, the diversity of agricultural crops. The most important agricultural crops in Egypt grain of all kinds, especially rice and corn. The

cultivation of mulberry trees, for sericulture - the only source of silk - has been allocated for the purpose of mulberry trees are an estimated three thousand acres of agricultural land, and the state incurring specialists in sericulture from Syria and also from Lebanon, and subsequently expanded patch planted Bhjr berries territory to reach An estimated nine thousand acres, this has led to great success in the Egyptian silk which is famous for the production. Planting different trees


across the state, to take advantage of timber in other industries, such as ship and construction and furniture which is famous in Egypt, and so on. (Egyptian cotton), which competes with its quality US cotton and Bengali, we find that it has increased the demand of textile mills in the world, with Egyptian cotton count (agricultural wealth of Egypt). Olive cultivation, where the olive cultivation are rare in Egypt and in

ancient times, were not planted olive trees, except in a very limited number of the outskirts of the city of Cairo, and the province of Fayoum, except that in the era of (Muhammad Ali) is planted olive trees on a large scale, especially in the Upper and Lower, the importance of olives in D soldiers with food and sustenance, and extract the oil from the fruit, what distinguishes the Egyptian olive, that bear fruit after three years of instilled only, any faster than paying off in other countries, this shows the quality of the climate and soil in the country rich and suitable for planting olive trees and also many of the diverse crops. (Indigo), known for its industry since ancient times in the country, added the cultivation of Indian indigo, which he retrieved Muhammad Ali, to spread widely in the country. The cultivation of poppies, or the so-called opium plant, has brought Muhammad Ali from the city (Izmir), Turkey's many Armenians who practiced cultivation of this plant in Egypt. There are many important crops in Egypt, which dates back to the country's economy great benefit, things such as hemp or kenaf, and also the cultivation of Egyptian mango trees, only to find that Egypt has been approached to achieve self-sufficiency in most crops, and we find also export kinds of them.
