Another beauty about Plantain farming business is that it generate cash for you for decades.
Land can be leased for a long time,let say 10years or above. Outright buying of the land is also possible. Villages and town with good road network and where land are relatively cheap can also be good for cultivation.

You did not talk on soil analysis. if the is infected with nematodes then forget any plant survival. also not all soils can support plant growth.
plantain is a heavy feeder on soil nutrients so after the 1st year if u dont apply fertilizer be prepared for drop in output. also to embark on plantation farming on 1 hectare, u need a sustainable land management practice because of the tropical soil condition.
also infestation by insect and pest u didnt put that into consideration.

Good observation.
Our plantain suckers are treated with bactericide to prevent outbreak of diseases.
With a sustainable management practices as you have said not necessarily with addition of inorganic fertilisers.
Integrated management approach will sustain the production of plantain and at the same time will reduce the application of insecticide and reduce cost of.production on the longrun.

Number of plantain suckers to be planted Depends on spacing.
3m*3m spacing will require about 1,100 suckers while 5m*5m will require about 500 suckers.
Spacing is determine by the use the investor want to put the farmland into,whether he wants to intercrop with other crops or planted solely.

At op, u talked about being treated with bactericide but the suckers u will replant will not be treated with it except the treatment is genetically applied then it can be transferred or u will have to resell new sucker every year.
i dont believe ur inorganic and doing away of use of insecticide, the back bone of large farming is use of appropriate chemicals in required quantities.
also the stem of harvested plantain have to be destroyed by removal or burning because it can habor pest and diseases which may cause sigatoka virus or bunching up.
4 a 25yrs life span these a the things u need
1. a sustainable land rejuvenation plan with organic or inorganic fertilizer. note if the land ur using was cleared using tractor u will need fertilizer due to removal of top soil.
2. total replanting of the field due to hybrid vigour accumulation and to reduce difference in fruiting cycle.

op please help clarify these and lets know the farms u currently manage
