    Geography<\/h2>\n

    Dormaa East lies in the west of the Bono Region, between Dormaa Ahenkro and the Berekum area. The land is moist semi-deciduous forest, well suited to tree crops, and streams draining the district feed the Tano basin. Wamfie and Kyeremasu are the largest settlements. Rain is well spread through the year, with peaks in May and October, and the soils suit cocoa and oil palm.<\/p>\n

    It borders Dormaa<\/a> to the west, Berekum<\/a> to the north and Sunyani<\/a> to the east.<\/p>\n

    Economy and Local Life<\/h2>\n

    Cocoa is the backbone of the district, grown with oil palm, plantain, cocoyam, cassava and maize. Poultry farming has spread here from neighbouring Dormaa, and small commercial flocks are common. Wamfie and Kyeremasu hold the main markets, where cocoa purchasing clerks, food traders and farmers do business. Sawmilling and transport provide other wage work.<\/p>\n

    The cocoa season sets the rhythm of the year, with buying running from October into the early months. Food crops are sold year-round into Sunyani, which is close enough for daily trips. Villages such as Asuotia, Kyeremasu and Wamanfo are farming settlements served by feeder roads off the main tarred route.<\/p>\n

    Getting There<\/h2>\n

    Wamfie sits on the Sunyani\u2013Dormaa Ahenkro road, about an hour and a quarter from Sunyani by car. Shared taxis and minibuses run frequently in both directions, and connections to Berekum are straightforward. The trunk road is tarred, but the feeder roads serving the cocoa villages are earth and deteriorate in the rains. Kyeremasu lies a short distance off the main road to the north.<\/p>\n
