The Story So Far by Emempaul(m): 8:07pm On Apr 04, 2019 |
WE REACHED A MILLION STANDS OF PLANTAIN!!!!!! W e finally hit the one million mark for plantain stands within two years and that says a lot When we started up this project we had a lot of era backs and set backs as we went on we strived to correct some of our mistakes, learning along the way the intricacies of growing the crop and how to over come the challenges faced with crop AND WE CAME OUT STRONGER Here is a report on the Journey So Far..... The actual idea of The Plantain City Project Ogun State was to create a zone in the south west were any thing and everything about plantain/banana could be found without stress.and it started 2years ago. The idea was to change the narrative of plantain/banana for FOOD to INDUSTRIAL purpose From a Food for the wealthy to a food for everybody Also creating an industrial hub for the production, processing and marketing of the crop either fresh or processed onto whatever product needed We wrote wrote foreign industries that made use of the truck of the plantain for highly skilled processing and we were told that for them to consider us we must have at least 3 to 5 million stands of the crop to feed the factory and they have been keeping interest in us till we reach he target Trust me the journey has not been an easy one for the farmers as we are facing a major challenge in the name of IRRIGATION AND EFFECTIVE WATER SUPPLY, DISTRIBUTION AND DELIVERY to the plantain/banana crop which we must add, is very expensive, hence farmers in the project are left to only one season harvest in stead of all year round harvest Secondly, due to the weeding challenge, we had to com up with a way to maximize spacing and still get value for money. So we ran a pilot project on inter crop with the plantain and our finds allowed us look at farming from a different angle. The following was the out come of our experimental pilot project 1. From month 0 to month 3, inter crops such as tomatoes, leafy vegetables, maize can be planted in between the spaces of the plantain without affecting the growth of the crop 2. From month 4 above tree crops shud be planted in between rows of The plantain and maintained 3. These tree crops would serve the dual purpose of both wind breaker 4. That the tree crops would stem from any of orange/lemon/tangerine, coconut, avocado pear,ogbono, agblumo, sour sop e.tc 5. That after the plantain is planted, whole land would be shared equally among the tree crop the farm wish to plant and that the tree crop would not serve as a parastise to the plantain pending when the tree crop itself reaches full maturity ad starts to produce at maximum 6. We themed it the 5 to 10 year project ( 1 acre farm holders) for The Plantain City Ogun State but can be replicated on as much land as possible The idea is that on that 1 acre of land you can still do your plantain/banana while growing other crops that bring to you extra cash The vision of THE PLANTAIN CITY PROJECT OGUN STATE is to creat an industrial hub for Plantain/banana farmers, by plantain/banana farmers to serve as a feeder to industries,creating employment and raising the of the crop the agro sector, completely chagin the narrative for the crop Thanks Emem Paul For Standard Impact Group For further information on the project Call Mr. Solomon 08064612484 Mr Paul 08068137724 WhatsApp 09064443828 Or Visit the farm at Along Onigedu road off Idiroko border road, by quarantine checking point, Oko-eye, Ogun State 1 Like |
