21 NOVEMBER 2017 - MAUBIN, AYEYARWADY REGION, MYANMAR: Workers carry freshly harvested rice to the edge of the paddy in the Ayeyarwady Delta. Myanmar is the world's sixth largest rice producer and more than half of Myanmar's arable land is used for rice cultivation. The Ayeyarwady Delta is the most important rice growing region and is sometimes called "Myanmar's Granary." The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is predicting that the 2017 harvest will increase over 2016 and that exports will surge to 1.8 million tonnes. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
