A long-running drought in Australia's main food-growing region, the Murray-Darling river basin, has worsened. Three months of dry weather and the driest June on record have plunged the area back into drought.

Experts say the drought will hit irrigated crops like rice and grapes the hardest, because other crops, such as wheat, depend more on rainfall during specific periods.
