Potato farmers harvest at sunset in Kurdish region of Iraq - in pictures

The heavy manual labour is carried out in the Bardarash district, near Duhok

Iraq, like many nations, is proud of its potatoes. Last autumn, Kurdish farmers dumped part of their crop on the doorstep of the regional government in Erbil as a protest against imported spuds. This year, farmers in the Bardarash district, near Duhok, a city of about 340,000 people in northern Iraq, are back in their fields. AFP
