Drought has been declared in more of the Auckland region, Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Hawkes Bay.

Primary Industries Minister Nathan Guy announced the medium-scale drought events today, saying it recognised that farmers across the North Island were facing extremely difficult conditions.

The area covered by drought includes the Auckland area south of the Harbour Bridge and all of the Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Hawkes Bay regions, including Coromandel and Taupo.
