What grows in Province de Taounate
Fez Meknes, Morocco
The 2026/27 season in Province de Taounate
| When the rains are expected | October 2026 to April 2027 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 520 mm |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 520 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| 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, with a cool spell that slows winter growth |
| Ground this covers | One kind of ground throughout. |

Plan the season, not just check it
The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Province de Taounate, 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.

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 Province de Taounate?
Wheat, African nightshade, Beetroot, Cabbage, Common bean all rate well in Province de Taounate — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant Wheat in Province de Taounate?
In Province de Taounate the window for Wheat runs 12 Sep 2026 to 10 Jan 2027.
Is there a farming app that works in Province de Taounate?
Divisi does. It reads Province de Taounate'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 Province de Taounate, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
