I think Starter has it. Long Beach is the busiest in terms of cargo. Passenger volume, I would have thought Miami.

Miami has the most cruises coming in/out...Hong Kong used to be the busiest cargo port but not anymore.
Europort is the biggest in area, but not in terms of traffic though.
Cargo maybe Alexandria (Suez Canal)
Passengers - New York
I remember viewing a television show about the construction of a new deep sea port off the coast of China, near Shanghai, I believe. It was built on reclaimed land off an existing island where a mountain was blasted away to provide the fill. It was a huge project, but don’t know if this is now the largest port.
I have no idea what it was called.
If passengers is not New York. How about the Dover Ferry hub in the UK? Hundreds of crossings to all parts of Southern Europe depart from there every day, and the same number arrive as well?
schmenke: Shanghai it is for cargo!
anfield: Dover for passengers!
Miami for cruises (which although I hadn't asked schmenke said so perhaps he should get the next one :) )
The photo below is from my most recent scotch whisky club event, featuring the Benromach distillery.
I really like whisky. Most whiskies are distilled from malted barley. Much of the world's barley production is used for producing beer and spirits.
Name the top 10 barely producing countries, in terms of annual tonnes (source from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) :)

too late!

I'm thinking India will be on most agriculture/grains lists but barley isn't the top crop here.
Germany
Russia
USA
UK
Russia
China
Canada
USA
Poland
Brazil
Argentina
South Africa

Ukraine
All a blind guess.
