Fertilizer or Manure Application on plantain plantation......

To produce a heavy bunch, plantain always need some extra nutrients.. This can be applied in the form either of manure or fertilizer example or manure mulch,,ash from wood fires..while fertilizer are N.P.K 15:15:15, urea fertilizer but NPK is the best for plantain. This because Potassium improve the rate of heavy of the bunch.

Incase your land it has been allow to fallow for long times, I will advise you not to apply fertilizer on such land..But in case some crops has already planted on it I mean the land, try to apply manure when you are digging the land and pour manure inside the hole before you put your sucker inside whole and cover it will earth.

Incase your land it has allowed to undergo fallow or what it popularly call virgin land. Don't apply fertilizer on such land., plant with manure cover it with earth and observe the growth of the crops of they is stunting growth in d crop you applying manure to booth the rate of growth after two weeks gp and observe the growth.

Before you go into farming one of the step you need to put into consideration is how do I sell my produces. Don't let be an issue to you, selling plantain is very easy you can either call me,or you carry your plantain into main market and sell it by yourself..You don't have to do anything just take it to major market and look for OLOBE or agent if you don't have any I can give you one. He is going to receive your plantain, but you need to pay for market gate fee...The payment depend on size of lorry or car you to convey your goods. The fee start from 1000 naira and above..

Immediately loaders will offload your goods from your car at agree fee. You are to pay for this fee too. It will takes to a place call field,, at this place your plantain will be arrange I dozen, this will determine total numbers of dozen you brought for sell and total numbers of piece you brought for sell.

Pls explain further
Re: Hybrid Plantain suckers / How to set up plantain farm by etrader(m): 3:32pm On Jul 20, 2018
Season
This is one of factors that determine the sale price of plantain in market. Most of farmers goes to farm and plant at the same time. Sometime around early rainfall or late dry season, this period is agromically ok but not financially ok for farmers. This is because all of them will bring their farm produce at same time. This occur around last two months of a year.

As a result of surplus of plantain in market this use to force the price of plantain at every last quarter of the year.
Farmers will experience this till first quarter of next year. When it around March the price will be skyrocket dues to scarcity and lack of rainfall. And this period from February till May farmers will experience such. The only farmers who plant on swamp or water lodging area can only have plantain for sell.

If you have plantain to sell around October till January you sell at low or none too attracting price, but you have it in large quantities for sell.

Meanwhile there is no amount that is too small or none attractive. This is because you can never loss your investment on plantain farming, but your expectations may not be archived but you can't short.

When it around March till June the price will be on high side.

Sizes either Big or Small

One of major factor that determines the price you sell your plantain in market is sizes of your plantain. Plantain come in various sizes which categories as big or small ones and pieces.
The big will separate from small ones. Also those one that detached from bunch in process of carry it from farm to market call pieces. They sell separate at market.

The price also determine by season. If you have big one around April till July big bunches sell between #25-35k per dozen while smaller sizes sell between 15-25k per dozen around August till October.

By November til March, big bunch sell between 10-15k per dozen while small bunch sell between #8k-12k the pieces left for you and your middle man to negotiate.
On several occasion piece are not so much you and your family may decide to eat it.

If you are new in farm industry, in first harvest your farm will be produce bigger bunch probability of produce small bunch is very slim unless your crop mature during dry season or your soil lack some basic nutrient that need for the growth of plantain.

Sales Point

This is one of major factor that determine the price you sell your plantain. Some time buyer may visit your farm to buy from you directly. I will advise you not to sell for them, this because majority of them are agent they will go and re-sale it at higher price and make more money than you. Why can't you take your goods to market directly and sell it by yourself. They will be hide on pretend that cost of transportation will be too high so they they will buy it cheaply from you. Don't allow then unless you are been to market by yourself and find out cost and you are certify they agree price. If not you will be cheated. If you don't want to disturb yourself in, selling or engage in market challenges you need to find out current price of the plantain in market before you sell your own.. Don't let some set of people took over your effort....farmers watch out...


Try to locate major market and find out financial capacity of nearby environment..take for example people reside in Ajah, Lekki, VGC and many more are going to patronize Ajah main market. So resident of VGC who has financial muscles to your product at a good price compare with Oshodi market or Idi-oro in Mushin....

So location of market place is very important in selling your plantain.

Re: Hybrid Plantain suckers / How to set up plantain farm by etrader(m): 2:34pm On Sep 16, 2018
Are you intend to venture into farming by coming year, by now you need to look for a land either to buy or lease. If you got a land very close to river or a swamp area its advantage for you because you will be able to cultivate your plantain farming round the year.

If your land is upland and you don't plan to irrigate your farm you need to plant very early, before other farmers goes for cultivation. You can start clearing by November and plant by December. Before the coming year runs to an end you harvest your Plantain. Don't worry if people said you are planting inside dry season. Plantain will definitely grow well during dry season although some will die but not majority of it will die.

We farmers needs to give glory to almighty God for the volume of rainfall this year.
I am really surprising that rain can still falling till this moment. This rainfall improve my yield this year and this lead into bumper harvest for me.

This really help my crops, what about you? Even if you irrigate your farm, you forget about temperature you can't compare irrigating farm with natural rainfall.

Time to plant plantain on water lodging area or swam area........

In case your farm land is on water lodging or swamp area and you want to make use of it for cultivation of plantain farm. You can do that but you need to time your planting.

This is because plantain is kind of crop that doesn't require too much water to survive. The water must be moderate round the year for maximum yield. If there is too much water for your plantain this will definitely affect the growth or death of your plantain
If your land is on swamp area, you need to first channel a means to enable the water to flow. Then you need to wait till end of rainfall that should be late August, then you plant your plantain.
Before following year rainfall will start your plantain will be ready for harvest.
At this period, plantain is sell at very cost because only few farmers has access to swamp area and only few plantain will be In market by this period. Around this period may/june a dozen of plantain sold for #30k or more depend on sizes.


But during rain seasons you will almost bite your finger when you are watching how your plantain are dying and u cant do nothing.
For a wise farmer who want to make money round the year on plantain farming should have piece of land on upland and some on swamp land..and calculate the best period to plant on both, you will not regret for venture your resources on plantain farming....
