What grows in Sekyere Kumawu
Ashanti, Ghana
The 2026 season in Sekyere Kumawu
| 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 1,195 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 | 2 kinds of ground. The season below is the largest that farms — about 91% of this area. |
| 91% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 284 growing days · about 1,210 mm · February to November |
|---|---|
| 7% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 286 growing days · about 1,250 mm · February to November |

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 Sekyere Kumawu

- Chickpea Unsuitable — Temperature
- Enset Unsuitable — Temperature

Plan the season, not just check it
The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Sekyere Kumawu, 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 Sekyere Kumawu?
Cashew, Cucumber, Jute mallow, African eggplant, African nightshade all rate well in Sekyere Kumawu — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Cashew in Sekyere Kumawu?
In Sekyere Kumawu the window for Cashew runs 20 Feb 2026 to 3 Oct 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in Sekyere Kumawu?
Divisi does. It reads Sekyere Kumawu'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 Kumawu, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
