Agriculture was the back bone of ancient Egypt's economy and its expansion and great legacy is based on being able to provide its citizens with enough food and a good standard of living.

Life in ancient Egypt focused largely on agriculture. A majority of the population were involved in farming, and the growing season lasted around eight to nine months. Wheat, fruits and vegetables were the principal crops, although there was some pastoral farming of cattle, sheep, or goats.

The Egyptians cultivated three kinds of wheat, several types of barley and flax, their main source of textile fibre. For a second crop, or in garden plots, a wide variety of vegetables were grown including onions, garlic, leek, Egyptian lettuce, radishes, cabbage, asparagus, cucumbers, lentils, peas, beans and many spices.

As for trade The ancient Egyptians most often visited the countries along the Mediterranean Sea and the Upper Nile River to the south because they were immediately adjacent to Egypt and contained materials that the Egyptians desired. At various times in their history, the ancient Egyptians set up trade routes to Cyprus, Crete, Greece, Syro-Palestine, Punt, and Nubia.
