Good morning audience ...

You are welcome to ACE BEST AGRO ALLIED RESOURCES.

Here's is another script of profitable Agricultural business venture , and this article will basically explain how to setup and also make income from your plantain plantation.
With eye openers to the economic impact of plantain products .

Firstly plantain is known as Musa paradisiaca botanically, and it's a plant which is mesophytic and hydrophillic that they need medium to large amount of water for rapid and steady growth. It takes plantain to grows from an underground rhizome reaching 12 to 15 feet tall with huge leaves, which wrap around the trunk. To obtain fruit, this tree needs 10 to 15 months without freezing temperatures to produce flowers and another four to eight months to grow plantains.

This shows it's a very healthy source of food for both the old and young . And more interestingly the unripe plantain is the most healthy for consumption for the elderly because of its high percentage in iron and calcium with helps the bone.

ECONOMIC IMPACT OF PLANTAIN.
Plantain can be diverted in production, but for the Nigerian market we basically consume the following ...
*Plantain in its raw form
*Blended for flour
*Chips as snacks e.t.c
Which is a very great source of revenue for the farmers.

SETUP ROUTINE.
*Select site (farm land)
*Prepare the land
*Spacing 2.5m X 2.5m or 3m X 2m - at this spacing 1hectare should comfortably house 1660 plants .
*Plant the suckers
*Fertilize at 3months interval for maximum yeild.
*Harvest.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS.
The financial analysis on planting may vary from location to location and also time of the year so it's always advisable to consult an expert in the field so as to determine the exact cost needed.

But for sales and profit in respect to 1 one hectare
At least a mature bunch of plantain will go for at least #800 to as much as #1100 depending on how well it thrives and the nearness to market...
Mathematical breakdown- 1660 X #800 = 1,328,000
This means if well managed your profit is well over a million naira in the first year of harvest whereas the bunch of plantain are relatively smaller and has not gotten to its peak , that is there is more profit into the years ...
