During the rainy season in Somanya, the best crops to plant are those that thrive in moist conditions and take advantage of the fertile, rain-fed soil. Some of the top choices include:
- Maize – A staple crop in Ghana, maize grows well during the rainy season and benefits from the regular rainfall.
- Cassava – This drought-tolerant crop also thrives with seasonal rains, and its roots store water, making it resilient even when rains subside.
- Yams – Yams grow well during the rainy season, particularly in well-drained soils, and the consistent moisture helps in tuber formation.
- Cocoyam – Similar to yams, cocoyam benefits from the wet conditions, making it ideal for cultivation during the rainy season.
- Vegetables (Tomatoes, Okra, Garden Eggs) – Quick-growing vegetables like tomatoes, okra, and garden eggs flourish in the rainy season, providing early returns and fresh produce for local markets.
- Plantains and Bananas – These crops also benefit from the wet conditions, and their growth accelerates during the rainy season.
These crops are well-suited to Somanya’s soil and climate, allowing farmers to maximize yields during the rainy months.
