SugarCane, Saccharum officinarum

Sugarcane is a native of South-East Asia, where it was used at least since  8000 BC. Crystallized sugar is known to man  for about 5 000 years (Indus Valley civilization).
Emperor Darius discovered sugar during his wars with several states in India  in 510 BC (" the reed that gives honey without the bees").  Arabs  conquered Persia  in 642 AD  and spread sugarcane  all over Middle East and North Africa. Western Europeans got sugar with the first Crusades in 11th century. Sugar reached England in 1099, and was in grand demand ever since. In 1319, a pound of sugar was worth 2 shillings, an equivalent of 24 gallons of medium quality Ale,  or an entire Somerset pig, or 48 chickens, or 4 geese, or 45-50 pounds of cheese, or  anywhere from 120 to 240 salted herrings, you get the idea.
By 1750 Britain had only 120 sugar mills that were producing only 30 000 tons  of sugar per year.

As a luxury item it was taxed heavily by the crown and in 1781  sugar  taxes brought  326 000 pounds to London, by 1815 this figure was as high as 3 million. Only  by 1874, with help of Prime Minister Gladstone, the tax was abolished and sugar became ( more or less) affordable  to everybody.
Now sugarcane is the biggest  world's crop  by weight . Over 111 countries are growing Sugarcane, and in 2009 the world production was over 1 682 577 768 tonnes, leaving an average Earthling with over 247 kg of sugarcane. This is roughly 25 kg of sugar, plus some other nutrients. Considering traces of other things sugarcane juice  has it's enough to last you almost 50 days at 2000 calories per day diet.
Biggest producer ( both by total weight and per capita) is Brazil with 689 895 024 tonnes of sugarcane in 2009.
Brazilian sugarcane crop of 2009 was the largest  crop of anything, anywhere , ever.

It was over 3.64 tonnes of sugarcane per each Brazilian. Imagine that--nearly 1 kg of sugar per day! You'd probably  get diabetes  within a month  if you tried to consume that much. Obviously, not all of  the sugarcane is turned into sugar, but still a pretty impressive number.

23 727 751 hectares were used for sugarcane production in 2009, or almost 1.51% of all arable land available in the world. Brazil uses over 15% of all it's arable land for sugarcane,  and this number is growing steadily at the cost of Amazon.
Sugarcane yields are usually very high, assuming there are plenty of water available ( sugarcane uses 150-300 liters of water for 1 kg of dry matter)
Average yield  worldwide in 2009 was almost 71 tons per hectare. Record for 2009 belongs to Peru , 131.8 tonnes per hectare. Record yield ever belongs to Peru also, almost 157 tonnes per hectare in 1972.
Lowest yields since 1961 were in 1962, 48.4 tonnes per hectare.
Biggest crop of sugarcane ever was in 2008, over 1736 million tonnes. Worst, since 1961-- 436.8 million tonnes in 1962.
Land usage for sugarcane grew 2.72 times between 1961 and 2008.
Sugarcane prices are different from 1 country to another, since nearly all  producing countries intervene  in sugar cane production  in one way or another. In India for example current prices are about 2 000 Indian rupees  per ton.
As for ethanol, you need about 17 grams of  sugar to get 1% of alcohol content , so a 1 liter of 96% pure ethanol would require  1632 grams of sugar.  So there is enough sugarcane out there to make  15.3 liters of ethanol per each human ( as of 2009). Worldwide it would be 104.3 billion liters   or 27.56 billion gallons of ethanol. Never mind that then we would have to give up on 70% of all sugar available on Earth

Millet, Mijo, Просо, Panicum, Panicoideae, Proso millet

Millets are a group of  annual grass species, 4 or 500 in total that live all over the world. About 10+ of them are used in agriculture since at least 8000 BC, most common is Pearl millet , others are Finger millet, Proso millet, Foxtail millet,  and exotics like  Kodo millet, Little millet, Guinea millet, Japanese barnyard millet, Indian barnyard millet. They grow very well on poorly fertilized, dry soils, and can tolerate pretty much anything except soil acidity.
Millet was a staple in Asia  well before  rice took over..Now its a sixth major grain and daily food for hundreds of millions of people. There are some serious studies suggesting that millet helps to prevent  type 2 diabetes and breast cancer. Personally, I did have my fair share of Proso Millet in my childhood  so I can tell you with all honesty that if I had to choose between  consuming it daily for the rest of my life and breast cancer,  the latter would be my choice of preference, even though I am a man.
In 2009,  32 034 572 tons of millet  were produced, leaving an average  potential consumer with a bit over  4.7 kg of millet (  10.43 pounds)  for the year of 2009. That's enough to last for 8.8 days. Worldwide, millet crop could feed 165.9 million people at 2000 calorie a day diet. There is enough protein in the world's millet crop  for over 193 million people. ( at 50 g a day).
Biggest crop ever was in 2008, 35 216 620 tons. Worst, since 1961--23.3 million tonnes in 1965.

Best worldwide yields were in 2008,     951.5 kg per hectare. Worst, since 1961--535.8 kg /ha in 1965.  Record yield belongs to Jordan, 8800 kg per hectare (1995) , area harvested was about  5 hectares-- an experimental field.
Worldwide , 35 454 429 hectares were used for Millet production,  that is over 2.25% of all  arable land in the world. Land usage decreased by about 20% in the last 50 years.
Biggest Millet producer  is  India with 8.59 million tons of millets produced, but there is a possibility that Nigeria  produced more than that in 2009. Biggest millet producer per capita is Mali with  95.8 kg produced in 2009. Africans in general eat about 20 kg of millet each, which is 4 times more than  the average consumption of  millet in Asia,  second  millet consuming region in the world.

Millet costs about $200-220 per ton, value of the world crop of millet  is about  $7 billion . Only 200-300 000 tonnes of millet , or around 1% of the production, are available for international trade, however this number does not include  trade within African continent.

Sorghum bicolor , Milo

Sorghum is a tall grass, native of  Ethiopia or Somali/Eritrea. As early as 1000-1500 BC it was cultivated in India and Pakistan, so I guess we can safely assume  it was domesticated  way before that somewhere in Africa.
It is a very drought-resistant crop, and now 109 countries are producing Sorghum commercially. It is number 5 cereal crop and about 500 million people eat it daily. In 2009,  62 098 620 tonnes were produced, leaving an average consumer with  9.12 kg of sorghum for that year. That is enough to last you 15.5 days at 2000 calories a day. Worldwide, sorghum crop of 2009 could feed 288.4 million people  with the same calorie intake. It has enough protein for over 340 million people at 50 grams a day diet.
Biggest producer and exporter (over 60% of the world's total sorghum exports) is  USA with  9 728 220 tonnes in 2009.  Biggest producer per capita is Australia with 126.5 kg produced per resident in 2009. US , Australia and Argentina have over 95% of the total sorghum export market ( about 6 million tons).

43 735 937 hectares were used for sorghum production in 2009, or 2.78 % of all arable land in the world. There is a decrease of about 5-6 % in land usage since 1961. In USA, About 15-20 000 hectares  are used to grow sorghum cane to make sorghum syrup.  Once sorghum cane is crushed for juice, you can get up to 6 250 gallons of sorghum juice from 1 hectare, which after a lot work will turn into 250 gallons of sorghum syrup.

Best crop ever  was harvested in 1985, when 77 567 348 tonnes were harvested.Worst, since 1961,  was in 1961 , 40.3 million tonnes.
Best  global yields  were in 1981,  1597.5 kg per hectare. Worst, since 1961 were in 1961 again, 889.6 kg/ha. Individual yield record belongs to Jordan , 21528.8 kg/ha (2004). Some kind of experimental field I guess.

About 900 000 tonnes of sorghum were used for seeds in 2009.
