What grows in Liberia
The 2025 season in Liberia
| When the rains are expected | February 2025 to December 2025 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 2,150 mm in a typical farming district |
| Across its districts | From about 1,763 mm in the driest of 136 districts to about 4,684 mm in the wettest |
| 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 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 one typical farming district's, not a figure for the whole of this area. |

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.
Plan the season, not just check it
The crops above are gathered from every district in Liberia, and the ground under them is not all the same. 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.
Or check your field firstThis calendar moves
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 Liberia?
Cashew, Guava, Lime, Mandarin, Mango all rate well in Liberia — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Cashew in Liberia?
In Liberia the window for Cashew runs 10 Feb 2026 to 17 Nov 2026.
Is there a farming app that works in Liberia?
Divisi does. It reads Liberia'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 Liberia, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
