Also about rice and other foods as follows
(Myanmar exports the most rice in the world):
"Myanmar's rice-growing heartland has been
devastated by Cyclone Nargis, posing worries of
long-term food shortages for the impoverished country
and political problems for its military regime,
experts said Wednesday.
The Rome-based U.N. Food and Agriculture
Organization estimates that five states hit hardest by
Saturday's cyclone produce 65 percent of the Southeast
Asian country's rice. The region also is home to 80
percent of its aquaculture, 50 percent of its poultry
and 40 percent of its pork production, the FAO said."

Disease is probably the next lurking wave of disaster
