Most wildly successful entrepreneurs got rejected many times but didn't give up

Many failed numerous times but didn't give up,

Tragedy befell many but didn't throw in the towel.

Most went bankrupt and have to start all over again,yet they didn't cry over spilled milk,they move on.

you have to know that life will throw many things across your way; but the thin line between yourself making it is consistency, persistent efforts even in the face of challenges, hardwork and ultimately undiluted integrity in your work.

Good morning

There are important operations you need to know that can make or mar your plantain farm business.

*Spacing in plantain plantation*

Some of the plantain we harvested last week,we used spacing of 2m by 2m and it did very well.

Nevertheless,you can use any spacing but note that if you are cultivating only plantain,then you can use the 2m by 2m.
3m by 2m,or 3m by 3m is preferable if you are interplanting with other crops.

This is to allow enough space so that other crops will be able to thrive well.
Any spacing less than the above is not advisable
Questions/suggestions are all welcome

Just know that when you want to do business with him you can still loose all your money. I am a living proof. All this internet farmers are just lipservice. They will not take care of your farm as they proclaim. Two acres of plantain farm, zero returns. Oga wale, help me sell the land, he kept posting me. Be wise people. This is Taiwo Hassan.

BENEFITS OF PLANTAIN
Plantain, (Musa paradisiaca), plant of the banana (q.v.) family (Musaceae) closely related to the common banana (M. sapientum). The plantain is a tall plant (3–10 metres [10–33 feet]) with a conical false “trunk” formed by the leaf sheaths of its spirally arranged leaves, which are 1.5 to 3 m long and about 0.5 m wide. The fruit, which is green, is typically larger than the common banana. The botanical classification of plantains and bananas is so complicated that plantain is variously viewed as a subspecies of the banana, and the banana as a subspecies of plantain.

1. Nutritious
Plantains are rich sources of complex carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, and are easily digestible. As a staple food, plantains have been the main fare of millions of people for centuries.


2. Digestive health
Fiber is especially important because it promotes bowel regularity. Fiber softens your stool and increases stool’s overall size and weight. Bulky stools are much easier to pass and therefore prevent constipation. Eating a high-fiber diet may also reduce your risk of hemorrhoids and small pouches in your large intestine known as diverticular disease, according to the Mayo Clinic. Fiber also increases fullness, slows digestion, and may help manage cholesterol.

3. Weight control
Carbohydrates aren’t necessarily a bad thing for weight management like most people believe. The fiber and starch found in plantains are complex carbs.

Fiber and complex carbs are less processed and more slowly digested than the simple carbs found in processed foods. They keep you full and more satisfied for longer after a meal, which can mean less snacking on unhealthy foods.

4. High in antioxidants
Plantains contain roughly 32 percent of the recommended amount of vitamin C in a single cup. This vitamin acts as an antioxidant and helps build up your immune system.

As an antioxidant, it may protect your body against free radical damage that has been associated with aging, heart disease, and even some types of cancer. Studies have found an inverse relationship between vitamin C intake and lung, breast, colon, stomach, esophagus, and other types of cancers.

People with cancer were also found to have lower blood plasma concentrations of vitamin C.

5. Good for your heart
The high amount of potassium found in plantains are essential for maintaining the cell and body fluids that control your heart rate and blood pressure.

Plantains are also a good source of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine). A cup of sliced plantains gives you roughly 34 percent of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA). This vitamin helps decrease homocysteine levels which are often associated with coronary artery disease and stroke.

The fiber in plantains also helps lower your cholesterol, which in turn keeps your heart functioning at its best.

6. Versatile (like a potato!)
You might commonly come across plantains fried and soaked in grease as a side dish in a restaurant, maybe even topped with sour cream. While they taste absolutely amazing, fried plantains aren’t exactly a healthy choice if fried in an unhealthy oil or if you are trying to manage your weight.

It’s better to think of plantains as a starchy vegetable or a substitute for potatoes. Their texture and mild flavor really shines when baked or grilled. You can incorporate plantains as part of a meat- or vegetarian-friendly stew, or grill them alongside fish.

Plantains are an excellent option for gluten-free or paleo-friendly recipes, like paleo pancakes. If you’re feeling more adventurous, try a Latin recipe, like ripe plantain arepas or boronía (mashed plantain and eggplant).

Here are some of the unbelievable health benefits of eating plantain regularly

1. It reduces the number of harmful free radicals
Free radicals are either made when our bodies break down food or are exposed to harmful elements like tobacco smoke and other radiations. They play a huge role in premature aging, diseases, and cancer.

However, findings from numerous studies have shown that vitamin C is an antioxidant that fights free radical damage. And with a serving of plantains providing over 35 percent of the vitamin C needed per day, plantains have been dubbed to be one of the best vitamin C foods around.

Owing to this, it is, therefore, advisable for us to include plantain to our list of favourite diet.

2. It boosts sexual performance
Studies have shown that the nutrients contained in plantain can help improve sexual performance through increased libido. In addition, eating plantain on a regular can also improve male fertility, thicker sperm, and volume.

Health experts have also suggested that unripe plantain (roasted or boiled) with ginger and garlic are wonderful when it comes to matters that concern sexual performance.


3. It is very good for the heart
Recent studies have shown that eating plantain is very good for the heart because plantain has been shown to contain some amount of serotonin. And serotonin, on the other hand, helps to expand the arteries, improve blood flow, and reduces the risks of artery diseases and stroke.

4. It strengthens stronger bones
When it comes to strengthening our bones, calcium is the essential needed mineral. And unripe plantain is very rich in calcium.

In addition to bone strengthening, plantain also encourages stronger muscles, nails, and teeth. This is why medical practitioners affirm that eating unripe plantain helps prevent diseases such as osteoporosis which involves the weakening of the bones and causes fractures.

5. It can prevent ulcer
Findings from various conducted studies show that unripe plantain contains phytochemical properties such as leucocyanidin which can prevent an ulcer.

it is late to plant plantain except you make use of irrigation.
About 120 suckers will do for a plot.
