What grows in Quissama (Muxima, Quiçama)
Luanda, Angola
The 2026/27 season in Quissama (Muxima, Quiçama)
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | October 2026 to June 2027 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 906 mm |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 906 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +0.7 °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.

Frequently asked questions
What crops grow well in Quissama (Muxima, Quiçama)?
African eggplant, African nightshade, Amaranth, Bambara groundnut, Carrot all rate well in Quissama (Muxima, Quiçama) — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.

In Quissama (Muxima, Quiçama) the window for African eggplant runs 5 Oct 2026 to 14 Mar 2027.
Is there a farming app that works in Quissama (Muxima, Quiçama)?
Divisi does. It reads Quissama (Muxima, Quiçama)'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.
