Market Today

We thank God for this year bumper harvest of plantain..after your harvest the next is to sell your farm produces and turn it into cash. But due to our system of farming in Nigeria we all go to farm at the same time and go to market at the same time. This really affect the cost of selling because, if we harvest at the same time there will be flood of plantain in the market at the same time. This will force the price down due to surplus.
As at today big dozen of big bunches like the one below sold for 15,000 naira while smallest dozen sold for #7,000.

The beauty aspects of this is that no amount of lorries of plantain move into Lagos market stay beyond two days, all the plantain will finished that very day.
If you want to go to that market you need to be there before 5am because market open by 6am before 8am you are done with your selling.
There is nothing waste in plantain,there are set of buyers who are interested in buying rotten or overripe plantain. If this type you have you will will see buyers for it.

80% of plantain coming into Lagos are from Edo state there soil will be very wick by February till August, during this period any farmers who have plantain for sell will sell at a good price. Like the one I sold for 15k will be sell for 30k within that period ...you cant imagine this......

Time to prepare your farm for next year planting season......

If you are new in farming or you intend to expand your farming, this is best time to clear your land. Like I use to tell you, don't make uses of tractors or buldozer to clear your farm. You crop it made up of fibrous roots and crops' that make up of fibrous roots feed on top soil during buldozer process if clearing top soil is badly affected. This will affect the growth of your crops.


After clearing you need to burn the debris into ashes...This ashes reduce the ph of the soil. This improved the yield of the crops planted on it..

This is a new year, this simply mean a new beginning..

This is best period to clear your land this should be done with uses if cutlass and hoe. Like I said before please don't make use of buldozer to clear your farm, although for those of you who want to embark on large scale farming mechanism farming is easier and faster means of clearing the farm land.
But plantain consist of fibrous roots which feed on top soil and in the process of clearing by buldozer all the top soil will be remove and dump in one side of the farm. In short any plantain plant on machine cleared land will grow stunting, in two years it will not produce fruits.

Make use of cutlass and clear with help of human being. If you are clearing on large acres of land you can apply clear and plant simultaneously. You can clear two acres and plant it. Apply the same method till you are done with whole farm....

After clearing, you burn it. You allow it to dry for 2-3weeks after clearing before you set it on fire....

If you are new in plantain farming industry, you may experience braking in your crops especially those that has produced fruit during dry season. Don't feel disappoint this because how it look like during dry season. What you can do to this is ether you plant on,swamp land area or you irrigated your farm during dry season. Make sure you wet your farm and ensure that the land is so soft.

If you are planting on upland, you need to make provision for irrigation. You don't need rocket science for proper irrigation,just think about source of water either borehole or well or you have any stream very close to your farm just look for mean of bringing in water into your farm. You can do wetting 3-4 days in a week.

MARKING

This is done immediately after land clearing. This is process of measuring of your farm filed and divides it into specific dimensions. Dimensions you choose will determine the position where you will plant your crops and distance that will be between two crops to another. This will also help you to determine total numbers of suckers you will require to plant on a farm.
E.g. If your land is 60x120ft, and you intend to plant by 8ftx8ft then you divide 60/8 equal to 7.5, and you divide 120/8 equal to 15. Then you multiply 7.5x15 that will give you 112.5
That mean you are to plant 112.5 suckers on a 60x`120ft of land if you choose 8x8ft as your planting dimensions. You can approximate it to 120 in case the land is rack or some suckers die on the process of germinating.

Pls I will like to set up my own plantain plantation this year, please which month is good for plantain of plantain.....kindly advise please

Ending of dry season that is beginning of rainfall... that is March to be specific. But if your land is swamp area, you need to plant during dry season. But if it upland, starting March is the best time to plant

Sourcing for land

This is one of the areas that do scare most people about running cultivation based agribusiness like Plantain. I could remember a young graduate called me from Lekki, Lagos that he won’t be able to afford buying or rent one from his locality due to high cost of land in that area that he can’t afford the cost of a single plot talk of an acre. My advice to him and to you if you are in the same situation, you don’t need to set up your farm in a city, you move far away from cities and rent/buy one depend on your financial status.

Individual communities

If you reside in a state with developing area (area with little or no built up houses). These places can even be a distance from where you reside in the state. You go over to these developing communities with vast expanse of lands, meet with the community leaders like Oba, Baale, Enogie, Obi , chairman etc and negotiate directly with them. You tell them how many acres of lands you intend to buy or lease for farm purpose and you will be appointed. Make sure you meet rightful owner of the land before you pay any dime. Within Lagos and Ogun state, rent fee acre is within N7,000 to N10,000

Please i dont involve in buying or rent of land matter, you can do this by yourself.

How much is dozen of plantain bunches now

Baba, we took 6 dozens of plantain to Mile 12 last Friday, the price wasn't attractive at all, even some farmers who took their harvests to ijebu-ode market made better sales than we did.

If you have checked my post when I talk on sale of plantain, there are 3 major factors that determine the sales of plantain, I talk of size of your plantain, period /time you harvest and market where you sell it.

Price of plantain always fall starting from November till February...by March till October the price will be improve. If you have plantain to sell take,it to any market around May/june and feed me back.

You can plant your crops and target your harvest to that period...
But if you have it in large quantities you will not complain
If your harvest fall around December I will advise you to peel it and sun dry it. You can sell it as plantain flour

Price of Plantain has improved in market .

In case you have plantain for sale, the price of plantain has improved in market than December and January. You can findout this at any plantain market near you.

Choosing a site for cultivation of plantain


The site should be easily accessible, have good exposure to sunlight and offer shelter from the wind. Flat or slightly sloping land with good drainage should be chosen rather than land with steep slopes that could lead to problems of erosion and loss of fertile soil, and that have greater risk of wind damage/ it is best to use virgin land due to its high levels of organic matter, but previously cultivated, fallow land can also be used, depending on the amount of plant matter. Plaster sand is a typical example of best soil for cultivation of plantain. I am very sure that a lay man can easily identify this type of soil.

I know but the demand for it is enormous at the moment and now is the time to make good money given the fact that the locals here buy a bunch for #1000 ,so why should i stress myself to Lagos market and get the same price range when it can sells for 50% more. That's why am asking for his help.
