OK. You can contact me for the feasibility study.
You can plant at anytime of the year but if you don't have any form of irrigation the do rain fed.
Yes my type of hybrid grow faster, bigger, taller and they are disease resistance.
No its between 9-12 months.

If you intercrop your plantain farm with veggie then you might need 2 permanent staffs

5 hectares is 12.5 acres
Depends on the spacing you intend using you can put between 600-800 suckers per acre that is you can put 7,500-10,000 on the 5 hectares.
The are lot of risk involved in plantain plantation majorly diseases and lack of proper mentainance.
