What grows in Nkimi
Centro Sur, Guinea Ecuatorial
The 2025 season in Nkimi
| When the rains are expected | January 2025 to December 2025 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 2,190 mm |
| This season's rain | Leaning dry — January, February, September, October, November and December 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 +0.6 °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 86% of this area. |
| 86% | 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 2,180 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 grows in Nkimi with irrigation
These need water applied — rain alone will not carry them here. The dates are the windows their own water supply allows.
What Divisi would not plant in Nkimi
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.
- Coconut Only in patches — clears in part of this area, not across any one zone
- Beetroot Only in patches — clears in part of this area, not across any one zone
- Avocado Only in patches — clears in part of this area, not across any one zone
- Passion fruit Only in patches — clears in part of this area, not across any one zone
- Cabbage Unsuitable — Temperature

Divisi scored 74 crops against this district's own ground; 11 came back without a sowing date.
Plan the season, not just check it
The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Nkimi, 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 Nkimi?
Cashew, Grapefruit, Guava, Lemon, Lime all rate well in Nkimi — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Cashew in Nkimi?
In Nkimi the window for Cashew runs 6 Jan 2026 to 8 Nov 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in Nkimi?
Divisi does. It reads Nkimi'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 Nkimi, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
