Nkuv is a farming village of Nso people, about 20 kilometres (12 mi) from Kumbo town, Bui Division, in the North-West Region of Cameroon. It has a population of about 2000 inhabitants, however, many seasonal farmers who reside in Dzeng, Bamdzeng,^[1] Mbiame, Kingomen, Mbuluf, Shisong and Kumbo also own and operate farms in Nkuv. Nonetheless, the population of Nkuv has steadily increased due to the internally displaced people (IDPs) particularly from kumbo town, secondary to the socio-political crisis in Cameroon that started in 2016 and has been going on for 8 years and counting. Many of them have made Nkuv their home. The Kumbo Urban council has a farm project in Nkuv called The Nkuv Palm Plantation project, however, this plantation hasn't fared well, since the socio-political crisis in Cameroon has put the Kumbo Urban council in a Moribund state.

Farming in Nkuv is principally subsistence farming, with the farmers cultivating corn, beans, cassava, bananas, plantains, yams, soybeans, groundnuts (or peanuts) and others. Like other grassland villages, Nkuv has two seasons: dry season and rainy season.^[2] Rainy season is an intense farming season and usually starts in March when the first rains announce the commencement of planting, especially corn, beans, and groundnuts. Sometimes planting may be delayed depending on how heavy the first rains are and how wet the soil gets. In recent past there has been a lot of fluctuation in first rains and consequently planting. Moreover, yield on the last decade has not been very impressive in Nkuv, pushing inhabitants and new arrivals to go deeper down to Nte-ev towards the Bamoun-Nso boundary.
