09 FEBRUARY 2015 - THA MAI, KANCHANABURI, THAILAND: A worker goes through a field looking for salvageable stalks of sugarcane after a mechanical harvester clear cut the field in Kanchanaburi, Thailand. Thailand is the world's second leading sugar exporter after Brazil. The 2015 sugarcane harvest in Thailand is expected to fall about 5% compared to the 2014 harvest because of a continuing drought in Southeast Asia. Brazilian production is also expected to fall this year because of ongoing drought in Brazil. Australia, the number 3 sugar exporter, is also expected to see a smaller harvest this year because of continuing draught in Australia. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
