What grows in Come
Mono, Benin
The 2027 season in Come
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | March 2027 to November 2027 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 951 mm |
| This season's rain | Leaning dry — September and October look short of rain. Plant at the early end of the window, favour quicker and more drought-tolerant crops, and keep moisture in the soil: mulch, and weed early. |
| 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 79% of this area. |
| 79% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 252 growing days · about 960 mm · March to November |
|---|---|
| 21% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 252 growing days · about 970 mm · March to November |

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 grows in Come with irrigation
These need water applied — rain alone will not carry them here. The dates are the windows their own water supply allows.
What Divisi would not plant in Come
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.

Plan the season, not just check it
The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Come, 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.

Planting windows shift with the forecast. Leave your email and we'll send what changed, and a note when planting time nears — a couple of emails a month at most.

Frequently asked questions
What crops grow well in Come?
African eggplant, African nightshade, Amaranth, Bambara groundnut, Carrot all rate well in Come — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant African eggplant in Come?
In Come the window for African eggplant runs 25 Mar 2027 to 21 Jun 2027.
Is there a farming app that works in Come?
Divisi does. It reads Come'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 Come, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
