    Geography<\/h2>\n

    Nkoranza North occupies the eastern side of the Nkoranza country, in the forest-savanna transition zone. Wooded savanna and farmland dominate, with surviving groves of semi-deciduous forest, the largest of them the sanctuary woodland at Boaben and Fiema. Streams here drain east towards the Volta basin. The main rainy season runs from April to July, with a shorter second peak in September and October.<\/p>\n

    Its regional neighbours include Nkoranza South<\/a> to the south-west, Kintampo South<\/a> to the north and Atebubu-Amantin<\/a> to the east.<\/p>\n

    Economy and Local Life<\/h2>\n

    Farming is the mainstay. Households grow yam, maize, cassava, plantain, groundnuts, cowpea and vegetables, and cashew has become a leading cash crop across the district. Livestock keeping, charcoal production and petty trade fill the dry season. The population fell between the two censuses, which reflects steady movement of young people to Techiman, Kumasi and Accra for work and schooling.<\/p>\n

    Busunya holds the district assembly and the main weekly market. At Boaben and Fiema, mona and black-and-white colobus monkeys live among the villages and are protected by long-standing local taboo rather than by fencing; the sanctuary draws visitors and school groups and supports guides, guesthouses and food sellers.<\/p>\n

    Getting There<\/h2>\n

    Busunya is reached from Nkoranza town, which sits on the Techiman\u2013Ejura road roughly 30 kilometres south-west. From Techiman, the regional capital, the trip takes about an hour by road. Shared taxis and minibuses run from Nkoranza to Busunya and on to Boaben and Fiema; the feeder roads are laterite and slower after heavy rain.<\/p>\n
