The 2026 season in Foya

When the rains are expectedFebruary 2026 to December 2026
Rain in a typical yearAbout 2,360 mm
This season's rainRain close to usual — plan around about 2,360 mm falling roughly when it always does
This season's heatHotter than usual — about +1.0 °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 supportsenough rain for a long crop, or two in a year, warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season
Ground this coversOne kind of ground throughout.

What grows in Foya

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 Foya with irrigation

These need water applied — rain alone will not carry them here. The dates are the windows their own water supply allows.

Plan the season, not just check it

The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Foya, 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 Foya?

African eggplant, African nightshade, Amaranth, Carrot, Cashew all rate well in Foya — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.

When should I plant African eggplant in Foya?

In Foya the window for African eggplant runs 2 Mar 2026 to 28 Sep 2026.

Is there a farming app that works in Foya?

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