What grows in Lolo-Bouenguidi
Ogooue-Lolo, Gabon
The 2026/27 season in Lolo-Bouenguidi
| When the rains are expected | August 2026 to July 2027 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 1,578 mm |
| This season's rain | Leaning dry — 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.

Frequently asked questions
What crops grow well in Lolo-Bouenguidi?
Bambara groundnut, Banana, Carrot, Cashew, Cocoa all rate well in Lolo-Bouenguidi — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Bambara groundnut in Lolo-Bouenguidi?

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