Frequently asked questions

What crops grow well in Kongba?

Cashew, Guava, Lime, Mandarin, Mango all rate well in Kongba — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.

When should I plant Cashew in Kongba?

In Kongba the window for Cashew runs 8 Feb 2026 to 7 Nov 2026.

Is there a farming app that works in Kongba?

Divisi does. It reads Kongba'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 Kongba, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
