What grows in M'Batto
Moronou, Côte d'Ivoire
The 2027 season in M'Batto
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | February 2027 to November 2027 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 1,000 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. |
| 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 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 78% of this area. |
| 78% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 286 growing days · about 1,020 mm · February to November |
|---|---|
| 21% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 303 growing days · about 1,070 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

Is there a farming app that works in M'Batto?
Divisi does. It reads M'Batto'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.

No — these are readings taken across M'Batto, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
