Egypt is one of the most populous countries in the world, with a population of over 1 100 million. Egypt has a relatively large population and little arable land, accounting for only 5% of its land area. This barren arable land, however developed and high, can't feed more than 100 million Egyptians. The reason why Egyptians didn't have famine was that they earned a lot of foreign exchange and imported a lot of food to supply their people. Specifically, Egypt's measures to feed a population of 1 100 million mainly include four aspects:

1, oil in hand, don't panic.

Because of oil, there are many local tyrants in the Middle East. According to the natural environment, they should eat sand, but because of oil, they are rich in gold and silver! Although Egypt's oil and gas reserves are not as large as those in the Middle East, they are also considerable. Egypt's annual oil and gas production is very large, creating a large amount of foreign exchange for Egypt, which can be used to import food.

2. monopolize the canal and make big money.

Monopoly is the most profitable. Monopoly of a canal means making big money, making big money! Egypt now has the world's busiest waterway, the Suez Canal. Ships passing through the Suez Canal have to pay Egypt at least $200,000 each time. So many ships pass through the Suez Canal every year! For Egypt, the Suez Canal is the inflow of water and the outflow of dollars. Why worry about having no money to buy food?

3. Large population and labor export.

At present, the population of Egypt exceeds 1 100 million, making it one of the most populous countries in the world. However, Egypt's economy is backward and it cannot digest the domestic labor force. To this end, Egypt vigorously promotes the export of international labor services. Rich countries in the Middle East are the main destination countries of Egypt's labor export, because of their similar geographical location, religious beliefs and languages. In addition, developed countries such as Europe and America are also important destination countries for Egypt's labor export. These laborers generate a lot of foreign exchange income for Egypt every year.

4. Develop tourism and stimulate the economy.

As four ancient civilizations in the world, Egypt is rich in tourism resources and numerous cultural relics. Therefore, Egypt vigorously develops the tourism economy and creates income. The famous scenic spots in Egypt, such as the pyramids and the Sphinx, are full of mysterious colors and very attractive. The number of foreign tourists flooding into Egypt is as high as10 million every year. These tourists bring a lot of foreign exchange income to Egypt.
