What grows in Méagui
Nawa, Côte d'Ivoire
The 2026 season in Méagui
| When the rains are expected | February 2026 to December 2026 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 1,343 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 +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 | 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 Divisi would not plant in Méagui
Every crop in the catalogue is scored against this district, not only the ones that work — so the list above is a decision rather than a shortlist. These are the rest, with what ruled each one out.

Plan the season, not just check it
The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Méagui, 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.

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 Méagui?
African nightshade, Cashew, Cowpea, Green gram, Jute mallow all rate well in Méagui — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant African nightshade in Méagui?
In Méagui the window for African nightshade runs 9 Mar 2026 to 16 Oct 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in Méagui?
Divisi does. It reads Méagui'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 Méagui, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
