    Geography<\/h2>\n

    Birim Central lies in the south-west of the Eastern Region, in the forest belt drained by the Birim River and its tributaries. The land is low and undulating, with farm bush and remnant forest between the settlements. Akim Oda stands near the centre of the municipality and serves as the market and transport hub for the surrounding villages. It borders Birim North<\/a> to the north, Birim South<\/a> to the south and Akyemansa<\/a> to the east.<\/p>\n

    Rainfall comes in two seasons, the heavier one from March to July, and the Birim floods low ground near the town in bad years.<\/p>\n

    Economy and Local Life<\/h2>\n

    Cocoa built Akim Oda and still underwrites the local economy, with buying stations, haulage and input dealers clustered in the town. Oil palm, plantain, cassava, cocoyam and citrus fill out the farming year. The Birim valley is diamond country, and small-scale winning of stones and gold continues along the river. Akim Oda’s market pulls traders from across Akyem, and the town holds the municipal offices, banks, a hospital and the second-cycle schools that serve the district.<\/p>\n

    Akim Oda is also a road haulage point, with timber and cocoa lorries loading for Accra and Tema, and workshops along the main road servicing them.<\/p>\n

    Getting There<\/h2>\n

    Akim Oda lies about 100 km south-west of Koforidua by road. From Accra the usual route runs through Nsawam, Suhum and Asamankese, then on through Akwatia or Akim Swedru. Buses and trotros work the Accra to Oda run daily, and a road north links the town to Kade and the N6 highway.<\/p>\n
