What grows in Pango-Aluquém
Bengo, Angola
The 2026/27 season in Pango-Aluquém
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | September 2026 to May 2027 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 1,341 mm |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 1,341 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.1 °C over the growing months. Heat makes the same rain do less, so a dry spell bites sooner: do not plant late, and shade or mulch what you can. |
| What that supports | enough rain for one full main crop, warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season |
| Ground this covers | One kind of ground throughout. |

Rain-fed. These dates are worked out from each place's own rainfall, for a field watered by the season — with irrigation a window can open earlier, close later, or come round more than once a year. Check your own field under What grows, or get the Divisi app for a calendar dated to your farm.
What Divisi would not plant in Pango-Aluquém
Every crop in the catalogue is scored against this district, not only the ones that work — so the list above is a decision rather than a shortlist. These are the rest, with what ruled each one out.

- Passion fruit Only in patches — clears in part of this area, not across any one zone
- Cabbage Unsuitable — Temperature
- Chickpea Unsuitable — Temperature
- Enset Unsuitable — Temperature
- Garlic Unsuitable — Temperature
- Tea Unsuitable — Temperature
- Teff Unsuitable — Temperature
- Wheat Unsuitable — Temperature
Divisi scored 74 crops against this district's own ground; 9 came back without a sowing date.
Plan the season, not just check it
The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Pango-Aluquém, and the map colours which kind of ground each part of it is. Your own soil, slope and rainfall will shift the dates — the Divisi app works them out for your field, and dates each job that follows.

Frequently asked questions
What crops grow well in Pango-Aluquém?
Cashew, Arabica coffee, Guava, Lemon, Lime all rate well in Pango-Aluquém — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Cashew in Pango-Aluquém?
In Pango-Aluquém the window for Cashew runs 13 Sep 2026 to 9 Apr 2027.
Is there a farming app that works in Pango-Aluquém?
Divisi does. It reads Pango-Aluquém's own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average, so the planting dates and crop shortlist on this page are the same ones the app works out for a field here — then dates each job for that field, and keeps working with no signal.
Is this exact for my own field?
No — these are readings taken across Pango-Aluquém, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
