What grows in Caungula
Lunda Norte, Angola
The 2026/27 season in Caungula
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | August 2026 to May 2027 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 1,388 mm |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 1,388 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.3 °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 | 2 kinds of ground. The season below is the largest that farms — about 61% of this area. |
| 61% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 267 growing days · about 1,380 mm · September to May |
|---|---|
| 39% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 271 growing days · about 1,440 mm · August to May |

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 Caungula
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.
- Enset Only in patches — clears in part of this area, not across any one zone
- Cabbage Unsuitable — Temperature
- Chickpea Unsuitable — Temperature
- Coconut Unsuitable — Temperature
- Garlic Unsuitable — Temperature
- Teff Unsuitable — Temperature
Divisi scored 74 crops against this district's own ground; 6 came back without a sowing date.
Plan the season, not just check it
The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Caungula, 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 Caungula?
African eggplant, African nightshade, Amaranth, Avocado, Bambara groundnut all rate well in Caungula — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant African eggplant in Caungula?
In Caungula the window for African eggplant runs 17 Aug 2026 to 1 Feb 2027.
Is there a farming app that works in Caungula?
Divisi does. It reads Caungula'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 Caungula, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
