What grows in Haute-Sanaga
Centre, Cameroon
The 2026 season in Haute-Sanaga
| When the rains are expected | February 2026 to December 2026 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 1,424 mm |
| This season's rain | Leaning dry — September, October and November 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. |
| 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 a long crop, or two in a year, 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 81% of this area. |
| 81% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 307 growing days · about 1,440 mm · February to December |
|---|---|
| 17% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 298 growing days · about 1,400 mm · March to December |

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 Haute-Sanaga

- Chickpea Unsuitable — Temperature
- Enset Unsuitable — Temperature

Plan the season, not just check it
The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Haute-Sanaga, 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 Haute-Sanaga?
Cashew, Cucumber, Jute mallow, Okra, African eggplant all rate well in Haute-Sanaga — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Cashew in Haute-Sanaga?
In Haute-Sanaga the window for Cashew runs 2 Mar 2026 to 12 Oct 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in Haute-Sanaga?
Divisi does. It reads Haute-Sanaga'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 Haute-Sanaga, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
