What grows in Téhini
Bounkani, Côte d'Ivoire
The 2027 season in Téhini
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | April 2027 to November 2027 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 1,006 mm |
| This season's rain | Leaning dry — September looks 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 +1.2 °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.
What grows in Téhini with irrigation
These need water applied — rain alone will not carry them here. The dates are the windows their own water supply allows.

Frequently asked questions
What crops grow well in Téhini?
African eggplant, African nightshade, Amaranth, Bambara groundnut, Carrot all rate well in Téhini — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant African eggplant in Téhini?

Is there a farming app that works in Téhini?
Divisi does. It reads Téhini'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 Téhini, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
