Frequently asked questions

What crops grow well in Kouango?

African nightshade, Cashew, Common bean, Cowpea, Cucumber all rate well in Kouango — scored against its own rainfall, soil and terrain rather than a national average.

When should I plant African nightshade in Kouango?

In Kouango the window for African nightshade runs 7 Apr 2026 to 22 Sep 2026.

Is there a farming app that works in Kouango?

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