People struggle to get a piece of bread Sunday outside the Data Durbar mosque in Lahore, Pakistan. World prices for rice and other grains have risen sharply this year because of growing demand, poor weather and rising cost of petroleum in some grain-producing countries. Some Asian countries, including India and Vietnam, recently suspended rice exports to guarantee their own supplies. (AP photo by Emilio Morenatti / May 4, 2008)
