What grows in Nkoranza North
Bono East, Ghana
The 2026 season in Nkoranza North
| 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 1,070 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 79% of this area. |
| 79% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 264 growing days · about 1,110 mm · March to November |
|---|---|
| 17% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 272 growing days · about 1,130 mm · March to November |
| 4% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 260 growing days · about 1,090 mm · March to November |

Plan the season, not just check it

Frequently asked questions
What crops grow well in Nkoranza North?
Cashew, African eggplant, African nightshade, Amaranth, Bambara groundnut all rate well in Nkoranza North — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Cashew in Nkoranza North?
In Nkoranza North the window for Cashew runs 10 Mar 2026 to 4 Oct 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in Nkoranza North?
Divisi does. It reads Nkoranza North'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 Nkoranza North, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
