Guinea Ecuatorial
Avocado (Persea americana) is a big evergreen tree that, once settled, can bear fruit for decades — one of the highest-value crops a smallholder can grow, for fresh eating and for export.

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.
If you only get one chance to plant, aim for around 9 Aug 2026. That is the point in the window where the rains are most reliably established.
No seasonal forecast reaches Wele-Nzas yet, so these dates follow the rains it usually gets rather than this year's.
Planting after 21 May 2027 leaves the crop short of season: it runs into the dry months before it has finished filling.
