Omaio
Omaio is a coastal township in the Ōpōtiki District and Bay of Plenty Region of New Zealand's North Island.

During the 20th century, families collectively farmed the area for sheep and beef. More recently, they have been considering a shift to kiwifruit farming. Funding was granted for a pilot kiwifruit farm in April 2017.

During 2018 and 2019, National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research tested climate-resilient crops in Omaio. Due to the impact of climate change, Omaio has had fewer frosts, shorter winters, drier summers, more extreme weather, and greater pressure on its water supplies.

In June 2019 Omaio hosted an historic signing of a Treaty of Waitangi settlement agreement between Te Whānau-ā-Apanui and the Crown.
