Banana and plantain are amongst the major staples food in Africa, where more than 31 million tonne are produced yearly primarily by small family farms and this account for approximately a third of global production.
I believe this is the right time to escalate the production.

My brother. The price vary based on the location and proximity to the road. My area is sold between N450,000-N750,000 per acre. As for the spacing it also differ you can use 2m by 2m, 2.5m by 2.5m or 3m by 3m. So do your calculations. 2.5 acre is 1 hectare.

Thanks. We do

With N250,000.00 you can cultivate an acre of plantain
The N250,000.00 conveniently takes care of the cost of suckers to plant (@ N80.00/sucker), the weeding, clearing and harvesting processes.
Depending on the spacing between two suckers, you can plant up to 1000 suckers on an acre of land
Giving 5% allowance for losses,you will be harvesting 950 bunches
Your profits depends on the timing of harvest and the ruling price in the market and the density of competition.
Assuming you sell a bunch for N1000.00, you have had a successful outing already

If you intend to plant during dry season then you need to have a water source.
