What grows in Sekyere East
Ashanti, Ghana
The 2026 season in Sekyere East
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | February 2026 to November 2026 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 1,244 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 | 3 kinds of ground. The season below is the largest that farms — about 65% of this area. |
| 65% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 287 growing days · about 1,240 mm · February to November |
|---|---|
| 17% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 287 growing days · about 1,250 mm · February to November |
| 17% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 320 growing days · about 1,250 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
The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Sekyere East, 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 Sekyere East?
Cashew, Cucumber, Jute mallow, African eggplant, African nightshade all rate well in Sekyere East — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Cashew in Sekyere East?
In Sekyere East the window for Cashew runs 18 Feb 2026 to 16 Oct 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in Sekyere East?
Divisi does. It reads Sekyere East'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 Sekyere East, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
