What grows in Luba
Bioko Sur, Guinea Ecuatorial
The 2026 season in Luba
| When the rains are expected | January 2026 to January 2026 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 2,615 mm |
| This season's rain | Leaning dry — January looks 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 +0.5 °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 77% of this area. |
| 77% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 365 growing days · about 2,670 mm · January to December |
|---|---|
| 14% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 338 growing days · about 2,440 mm · January to January |
| 8% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 365 growing days · about 2,960 mm · January 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.
What Divisi would not plant in Luba
Every crop in the catalogue is scored against this district, not only the ones that work — so the list above is a decision rather than a shortlist. These are the rest, with what ruled each one out.
- Chickpea Only in patches — clears in part of this area, not across any one zone
Divisi scored 74 crops against this district's own ground; 1 came back without a sowing date.
Plan the season, not just check it
The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Luba, 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 Luba?
Carrot, Common bean, Guava, Lemon, Sunflower all rate well in Luba — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Carrot in Luba?
In Luba the window for Carrot runs 14 Feb 2026 to 27 Sep 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in Luba?
Divisi does. It reads Luba'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 Luba, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
