The land is gently rolling and well watered, with patches of remaining forest between farms and<br \/>\ncocoa plots. Coaltar and Kraboa Coaltar sit on the road that crosses the district from north-west to<br \/>\nsouth-east.<\/p>\n<p>It borders <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/ghana\/eastern\/suhum-kraboa-coaltar\/\">Suhum<\/a> to the north, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/ghana\/eastern\/upper-west-akim\/\">Upper West Akim<\/a> to the west and<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/ghana\/eastern\/west-akim\/\">West Akim<\/a> beyond it.<\/p>\n<p>The district lies in the double-maxima rainfall belt, with a long wet season from March to July and a<br \/>\nshorter one in September and October, so two croppings a year are normal. Soils are forest ochrosols, deep and<br \/>\nwell drained, which is why cocoa and oil palm do well here.<\/p>\n<h2>Economy and Local Life<\/h2>\n<p>Cocoa, oil palm and citrus are the cash crops; cassava, maize, plantain, cocoyam and vegetables feed<br \/>\nhouseholds and the nearby city markets. Oil-palm plantations and small mills operate in several communities,<br \/>\nand palm oil is a regular item in local trade. Coaltar and Asuboi hold the main markets, and proximity to<br \/>\nNsawam and Accra means a good share of farm produce leaves the district fresh, by truck, the same week it is<br \/>\nharvested.<\/p>\n<p>Coaltar holds the district offices and the larger schools and clinics; residents also use Nsawam and<br \/>\nSuhum for hospital care, banking and wholesale goods. Sand winning, sawmilling and transport work supplement<br \/>\nfarm income in communities along the main roads.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting There<\/h2>\n<p>Coaltar is about 60 km from Accra. The common route is the Accra&ndash;Kumasi highway to Nsawam or<br \/>\nSuhum, then a branch road east or south into the district. Trotros from Nsawam and Suhum serve Coaltar,<br \/>\nAsuboi and Kraboa Coaltar; feeder roads reach the smaller farming villages.<\/p>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<h3>What is the capital of Ayensuano?<\/h3>\n<p>Coaltar is the district capital.<\/p>\n<h3>Which region is Ayensuano in?<\/h3>\n<p>It is in the Eastern Region of Ghana.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the population of Ayensuano?<\/h3>\n<p>The 2021 census recorded 94,594 people.
