I am into plantain farming with start up of 50 stand and a butch sales for #1700 by 50….good money?
Well taking a larger step,wants another land that can contain 100 stands,
It all depends on good place the biz is good and don't need much stress.
If you set to go start with just 10 sucker, before 10th month of hervest ,it multiply more than 30 and on and on withinout stress like weeding and all that stuff.
If you are ready to go ,promise to stand by you ,then thank me later!

Presently am into plantain started the process since may having 12 plot of land and am still yet to finish. Planting about 750 sucker. That business is capital based all my salary goes to that business you pay worker and so na. I pray � God see me through in the time of harvest

I'm nt into farming, but I think plantain farming should be more lucrative, given that demand for it is more, as it can be made into various forms of food(fufu,porridge,boiled,fried,with beans,chips,etc), while its counterpart can only be eaten as passtime snacks

Banana is for the boys, Plantain for the men.

Plantain is bigger and better and it fills more.

Banana will give you jedi jedi but Plantain will give you orgasm

Davido is banana, just 2 baby mama. 2baba is Plantain with plenty baby mama

Banana cannot make dodo, Plantain can make dodo

Plantain will make for us our trademark Amala and the leaves will shield our beloved ewedu to keep it fresh

Goats fancy Plantain more and we have more GOATS than monkeys in Nigeria

Plantain is more effective in making jazz than banana..

Remember bros this is annual crops,both of this plants are profitable, but banana Butch cost more than plantain .
Here in the east one head of plantain good looking cost #1800,while a very good looking banana cost been #2000 to 2,#2500. And remember your site matters a lot,How safe is your site?
Currently I am enjoying this biz,looking foreword of expanding this biz...at least having up to hundred stand is a lot of money with less effort, Bros jump on board and thank me later!

That is false! Some parts of the North grow both Plantain and banana! As long as you have enough water and the soil is right

Plantain and banana farming works more on the economy of scales. If you have less than 300, you might not make significant profit becos you might eat significant number. It is from experience, I farm in thousands.

Actually i smell an internet farmer. In one big market here in Lag, we bought 2 bunches for 1500. So?
