Сиангкхуанг
Xiangkhouang Province is the main maize producing area of Laos. The centre for trade and tourism is Phonsavan. In the village of Ban Napia near Phonsavan, villagers re-use unexploded ordnance (UXO) scrap metal to make spoons to be sold as souvenirs. The scrap metal is checked for safety beforehand by UXO Lao. This community-based project provides income for the villagers. As of 2012, three minor accidents involving UXO had been reported.
