Irrawaddy Delta, Myanmar which was hit hardest by Cyclone Nargis POST ALL OFFERS HERE
THE GEOGRAPHY: Located on the tip of the country's western coast, the Irrawaddy delta is a low-lying region where as many as 6 million people live. The mighty Irrawaddy river branches out into numerous tributaries to form the delta, which is also crisscrossed by canals and wetlands.
THE ECONOMY: The fertile region of the Irrawaddy Delta is considered the country's rice bowl, where mangrove forests long ago were converted into paddy fields. Once the world's top rice producer, Myanmar now only produces about 400,000 tons for export each year with only small quantities exported.
