What grows in Côte d'Ivoire
The 2026 season in Côte d'Ivoire
| When the rains are expected | February 2026 to December 2026 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 1,305 mm in a typical farming district |
| Across its districts | From about 974 mm in the driest of 108 districts to about 1,854 mm in the wettest |
| This season's rain | Leaning dry — February, 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 +0.9 °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 | 3 kinds of ground. The season below is one typical farming district's, not a figure for the whole of this area. |
| 43% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 240 growing days · about 1,030 mm · March to November |
|---|---|
| 32% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 282 growing days · about 1,110 mm · February to November |
| 24% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 323 growing days · about 1,400 mm · February 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.
Plan the season, not just check it
The crops above are gathered from every district in Côte d'Ivoire, and the ground under them is not all the same. 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 Côte d'Ivoire?
Cashew, Lime, Mandarin, Mango, Guava all rate well in Côte d'Ivoire — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Cashew in Côte d'Ivoire?
In Côte d'Ivoire the window for Cashew runs 17 Feb 2026 to 15 Oct 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in Côte d'Ivoire?
Divisi does. It reads Côte d'Ivoire'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 Côte d'Ivoire, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
