What grows in Bangui-Kagas
Bangui, République centrafricaine
The 2026 season in Bangui-Kagas
| Rainy seasons | One each year — one chance to plant, so timing carries it |
|---|---|
| When the rains are expected | March 2026 to November 2026 |
| Rain in a typical year | About 1,245 mm |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 1,245 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.1 °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 | 3 kinds of ground. The season below is the largest that farms — about 66% of this area. |
| 66% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 261 growing days · about 1,240 mm · March to November |
|---|---|
| 27% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 293 growing days · about 1,270 mm · March to December |
| 7% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm all year, so nothing but rain ends the season 258 growing days · about 1,240 mm · March to November |

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.

Plan the season, not just check it
The crops and dates above are read at cells spread across Bangui-Kagas, 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 Bangui-Kagas?
African nightshade, Cashew, Common bean, Cowpea, Cucumber all rate well in Bangui-Kagas — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.
When should I plant African nightshade in Bangui-Kagas?

Is there a farming app that works in Bangui-Kagas?
Divisi does. It reads Bangui-Kagas'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 Bangui-Kagas, not on your field. Soil, slope and rainfall change from one farm to the next. Check your own location to see your own numbers.
