A woman collects tobacco leaves near the village of Kukuryak southeast of the Bulgarian capital Sofia on July 12, 2017. Bulgaria was one of the largest tobacco leaf producer in Europe but the end of communism led to the disbanding of cooperative farms and a decline on production. The southern region of Kirkovo is still home to the largest number of tobacco growers per capita in the European Union. But production is a far cry from the days when Bulgaria's "golden leaf" was an international mark of quality. (Dimitar DILKOFF/ AFP)
