What grows in Inhassoro
Inhambane, Moçambique
The 2026/27 season in Inhassoro
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | November 2026 to June 2027 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 852 mm |
| This season's rain | Leaning dry — January, 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 +1.2 °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 one full main crop, 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 73% of this area. |
| 73% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 218 growing days · about 830 mm · November to June |
|---|---|
| 24% | enough rain for one short crop, and only if timed to it; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 175 growing days · about 770 mm · November to April |

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 Inhassoro 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 Inhassoro, 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.
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 Inhassoro?
Lime, Mandarin, Mango, Pineapple, Cashew all rate well in Inhassoro — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Lime in Inhassoro?
In Inhassoro the window for Lime runs 29 Oct 2026 to 16 Feb 2027.
Is there a farming app that works in Inhassoro?
Divisi does. It reads Inhassoro'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 Inhassoro, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
