What grows in Kintampo South
Bono East, Ghana
The 2026 season in Kintampo South
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | March 2026 to November 2026 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 1,031 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 +0.8 °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 full main crop, 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 91% of this area. |
| 91% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 261 growing days · about 1,080 mm · March to November |
|---|---|
| 6% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 273 growing days · about 1,130 mm · March to November |
| 3% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 256 growing days · about 1,090 mm · March to November |

Plan the season, not just check it
The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Kintampo South, 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.

Is there a farming app that works in Kintampo South?

No — these are readings taken across Kintampo South, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
