  • 13 MAY 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:  People stroke the Royal Oxen and rub money on the animal's forehead for good luck at the Royal Ploughing Ceremony in Bangkok. After the ceremony, thousands of Thais, mostly family formers, rush onto the ploughed ground to gather up the blessed rice seeds sown by the Brahmin priests. The Royal Plowing Ceremony is held Thailand to mark the traditional beginning of the rice-growing season. The date is usually in May, but is determined by court astrologers and varies year to year. During the ceremony, two sacred oxen are hitched to a wooden plough and plough a small field on Sanam Luang (across from the Grand Palace), while rice seed is sown by court Brahmins. After the ploughing, the oxen are offered plates of food, including rice, corn, green beans, sesame, fresh-cut grass, water and rice whisky. Depending on what the oxen eat, court astrologers and Brahmins make a prediction on whether the coming growing season will be bountiful or not. The ceremony is rooted in Brahman belief, and is held to ensure a good harvest. A similar ceremony is held in Cambodia.   PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 06 JUNE 2014 - IRRAWADDY DELTA,  AYEYARWADY REGION, MYANMAR: A farmer uses oxen to plow a rice field Irrawaddy Delta (or Ayeyarwady Delta) in Myanmar. The region is Myanmar's largest rice producer, so its infrastructure of road transportation has been greatly developed during the 1990s and 2000s. Two thirds of the total arable land is under rice cultivation with a yield of about 2,000-2,500 kg per hectare. FIshing and aquaculture are also important economically.

After decades of military mismanagement that led to years of rice imports, Myanmar (Burma) is on track to become one of the world's leading rice exporters in the next two years and could challenge traditional rice exporter leader Thailand. Political and economic reforms have improved rice yields and new mills are being built across the country. Burmese eat more rice than any other people in the world. The average Burmese consumes 210 kilos of rice per year and rice makes up 75 percent of the diet.   PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • A farmer uses oxen to plow a rice field Irrawaddy Delta (or Ayeyarwady Delta) in Myanmar. The region is Myanmar's largest rice producer, so its infrastructure of road transportation has been greatly developed during the 1990s and 2000s. Two thirds of the total arable land is under rice cultivation with a yield of about 2,000-2,500 kg per hectare. FIshing and aquaculture are also important economically. Because of the number of rivers and canals that crisscross the Delta, steamship service is widely available.

  • 06 NOVEMBER 2014 - SITTWE, RAKHINE, MYANMAR: A Rohingya Muslim man threshes rice with oxen in a Rohingya Muslim IDP camp near Sittwe. After sectarian violence devastated Rohingya communities and left hundreds of Rohingya dead in 2012, the government of Myanmar forced more than 140,000 Rohingya Muslims who used to live in and around Sittwe, Myanmar, into squalid Internal Displaced Persons camps. The government says the Rohingya are not Burmese citizens, that they are illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. The Bangladesh government says the Rohingya are Burmese and the Rohingya insist that they have lived in Burma for generations. The camps are about 20 minutes from Sittwe but the Rohingya who live in the camps are not allowed to leave without government permission. They are not allowed to work outside the camps, they are not allowed to go to Sittwe to use the hospital, go to school or do business. The camps have no electricity. Water is delivered through community wells. There are small schools funded by NOGs in the camps and a few private clinics but medical care is costly and not reliable.   PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
