As the Agricultural Production Census 2022 covered the year ending June 2022 it did not capture the damages caused by Cyclone Gabrielle, which devastated parts of the Hawkes Bay and Tairāwhiti region in early 2023. Agricultural statistics from previous years were used in the natural disaster recovery response planning.
