What grows in Oromo Nationality Administration
Amhara, Ethiopia
The 2026 season in Oromo Nationality Administration
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | June 2026 to September 2026 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 668 mm |
| This season's rain | Leaning wet — make sure water can drain off the field. |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.5 °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 short crop, and only if timed to it, warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season |
| Ground this covers | 4 kinds of ground. The season below is the largest that farms — about 64% of this area. |
| 64% | enough rain for one short crop, and only if timed to it; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 95 growing days · about 670 mm · June to September |
|---|---|
| 25% | enough rain for one short crop, and only if timed to it; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 127 growing days · about 820 mm · June to October |
| 7% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 190 growing days · about 870 mm · June to October |
| 3% | enough rain for one short crop, and only if timed to it; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 89 growing days · about 600 mm · June to September |

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