What grows in Boumi-Louetsi
Ngounie, Gabon
The 2026/27 season in Boumi-Louetsi
| When the rains are expected | August 2026 to July 2027 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 2,009 mm |
| This season's rain | Leaning dry — January, September, October, November and December 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 Boumi-Louetsi
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.
- Coconut Only in patches — clears in part of this area, not across any one zone
- Tea Only in patches — clears in part of this area, not across any one zone
- Cabbage Unsuitable — Temperature
- Chickpea Unsuitable — Temperature
- Enset Unsuitable — Temperature
- Garlic Unsuitable — Temperature
- Teff Unsuitable — Temperature
- Wheat Unsuitable — Temperature
Divisi scored 74 crops against this district's own ground; 8 came back without a sowing date.
Plan the season, not just check it
The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Boumi-Louetsi, 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 Boumi-Louetsi?
Banana, Cashew, Cocoa, Arabica coffee, Robusta coffee all rate well in Boumi-Louetsi — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Banana in Boumi-Louetsi?
In Boumi-Louetsi the window for Banana runs 2 Sep 2026 to 16 Mar 2027.
Is there a farming app that works in Boumi-Louetsi?
Divisi does. It reads Boumi-Louetsi'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 Boumi-Louetsi, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
