    Geography<\/h2>\n

    Birim South lies in the west of the Eastern Region, in the forest belt along the Birim River. The
    \nterrain is low and rolling, with cocoa farms, oil palm and secondary forest between the settlements. Akim
    \nSwedru, Akroso and Achiasi are the larger communities.<\/p>\n

    Its neighbours in the region include Birim North<\/a> to the north and Denkyembour<\/a> to the
    \nnorth-west.<\/p>\n

    The area lies in the wet semi-equatorial belt, with a long rainy season from March to July and a second
    \nfrom September to November, and no true dry month in most years. Forest ochrosol soils support tree crops
    \nacross the district.<\/p>\n

    Economy and Local Life<\/h2>\n

    Cocoa and oil palm are the leading cash crops, grown with plantain, cocoyam, cassava and maize. The
    \nBirim valley has been diamond and gold country for a century, and small-scale winning continues in places
    \nalong the river. Akim Swedru holds the district market and the main lorry station, and buyers from Oda and
    \nKade collect cocoa and palm fruit from the villages during the season.<\/p>\n

    Akim Swedru carries the district offices, a hospital and second-cycle schools; Oda, a short drive away,
    \nsupplies the wholesale trade and specialist services. Gari processing, palm-oil boiling, carpentry and
    \ntransport work are the common trades outside farming.<\/p>\n

    Getting There<\/h2>\n

    Akim Swedru is about 20 km from Oda by tarred road, and roughly 100 km from Koforidua. Most travellers
    \ncome through Oda or Akroso; trotros and shared taxis link the town with Oda, Akwatia and Kade. Feeder roads to
    \noutlying farming villages are earth surfaced.<\/p>\n
