They had many uses at home and could be traded for other goods.
Cereals (wheat, barley) provided a reliable food surplus that supported cities, specialization, and a standing workforce/army. Papyrus was used for writing, mats, boats, rope and was a valuable export. Together these everyday and tradable goods underpinned administration, economy, and long‑distance trade.
