# Based on the above conclusions, ONACC and MINADER recommends the following start dates for planting:
- For the Monomodal Zone (Littoral and Southwest regions), planting should have started based on the crop type.
- From the 15th August 2024 in the East and South regions. However, Betare Oya, Garoua Boulai, and Bangbel in the East region are expected to follow the Guinean High Savannah cropping calendar (2nd Dekad of April). Additionally, all localities around the coastal strip (e.g. Kribi, Campo, Lolodorf, etc.) in the South region, are expected to follow the cropping calendar of the Monomodal Zone (1st Dekad of March).
- From the 16th August 2024 in the Center Region. However, Ngambe Tikar, Sangbe, and Ndipa in the Center region are expected to follow the Guinean High Savannah cropping calendar (2nd Dekad of April).
