The Ministry of Agriculture is closely monitoring the dry weather situation in the Western and Northern Divisions.
Permanent Secretary Jitendra Singh says Rakiraki, Tavua, Ba, Lautoka and Macuata are the major affected areas.
He adds that this is normal due to the shallow depth of the current soil that exists and the stony areas within some of the hills.
Singh says if it continues then it will have an implication towards their cropping program and production.
The Ministry of Agriculture will continue to assess the situation and if the need arises it will respond in terms of the provision of water tanks for animals, animal feed and also for irrigation.
