What grows in Madinani
Kabadougou, Côte d'Ivoire
The 2027 season in Madinani
| 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 1,149 mm |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 1,149 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| 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 | 2 kinds of ground. The season below is the largest that farms — about 93% of this area. |
| 93% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 233 growing days · about 1,220 mm · April to November |
|---|---|
| 7% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 239 growing days · about 1,220 mm · April 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 Madinani with irrigation
These need water applied — rain alone will not carry them here. The dates are the windows their own water supply allows.

Plan the season, not just check it
The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Madinani, 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 Madinani?
African eggplant, African nightshade, Amaranth, Bambara groundnut, Carrot all rate well in Madinani — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant African eggplant in Madinani?
In Madinani the window for African eggplant runs 28 Apr 2027 to 16 Aug 2027.
Is there a farming app that works in Madinani?
Divisi does. It reads Madinani'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 Madinani, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
