What grows in Pebane
Zambézia, Moçambique
The 2026/27 season in Pebane
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | November 2026 to July 2027 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 1,119 mm |
| This season's rain | Leaning dry — January, February 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 +1.5 °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 61% of this area. |
| 61% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 251 growing days · about 1,120 mm · November to July |
|---|---|
| 36% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 288 growing days · about 1,260 mm · November to August |

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 Divisi would not plant in Pebane
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.
- Wheat Only in patches — clears in part of this area, not across any one zone
- Avocado Unsuitable — Temperature
- Cabbage Unsuitable — Temperature
- Chickpea Unsuitable — Temperature
- Enset Unsuitable — Temperature
- Garlic Unsuitable — Temperature
- Lemon Unsuitable — Temperature
- Passion fruit Unsuitable — Temperature
- Tea Unsuitable — Temperature
- Teff Unsuitable — Temperature
Divisi scored 74 crops against this district's own ground; 10 came back without a sowing date.
Plan the season, not just check it
The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Pebane, 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 Pebane?
Banana, Cashew, Groundnut, Guava, Lime all rate well in Pebane — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Banana in Pebane?
In Pebane the window for Banana runs 3 Nov 2026 to 1 Feb 2027.
Is there a farming app that works in Pebane?
Divisi does. It reads Pebane'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 Pebane, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
