This is the breaking down......

For one acre of plantain Farmland
Plantain harvested 500 (3x3m spacing)
Market Woman Usually buy At Dozen which everybody knows 12 is A Dozen
Market Paid #7000-8000 Naira Just for a dozen

500÷12=41.7 round up to 50 bunches

7000-8000 is what market woman pays for one dozen...
Let's work with 7000
50x7000=350,000.00 Naira

This is the least you can get from your first harvest

There are other ways of multiplying your harvest....i will inform you in subsequent lectures

What is a Plantain?

Plantains are a member of the banana family. They are a starchy, low in sugar variety that is cooked before serving as it is unsuitable raw. It is used in many savory dishes somewhat like a potato would be used and is very popular in Western Africa and the Caribbean countries. It is usually fried or baked.

Photo of plantainsPlantains are native to India and are grown most widely in tropical climates. Plantains are sometimes referred to as the pasta and potatoes of the Caribbean. Sold in the fresh produce section of the supermarket, they usually resemble green bananas but ripe plantains may be black in color. This vegetable-banana can be eaten and tastes different at every stage of development. The interior color of the fruit will remain creamy, yellowish or lightly pink. When the peel is green to yellow, the flavor of the flesh is bland and its texture is starchy. As the peel changes to brown or black, it has a sweeter flavor and more of a banana aroma, but still keeps a firm shape when cooked.

The plantain averages about 65% moisture content and the banana averages about 83% moisture content. Since hydrolysis, the process by which starches are converted to sugars, acts fastest in fruit of higher moisture content it converts starches to sugars faster in bananas than it does in plantains. A banana is ready to eat when the skin is yellow whereas a plantain is not ready to eat "out of hand" until hydrolysis has progressed to the point where the skin is almost black.

Plantains grow best in areas with constant warm temperatures and protection from strong winds. They have been grown in scattered locations throughout Florida since the 16th century. Because of the occasional freezes, Florida is considered a marginal area for plantain production. They are available year round in the supermarket.

oga abeg forget all these excuse. e no concern u wether my state governor chop all my allocation. Just federalize this contry let all the regions have a favourable competition. Ur excuse is like telling me that one of my brother a thief so because of that u will not give my family what belong to her

I know and I understand/support the fight but I need them to also think of how the money will be shared when it comes.if these present the leaders are still there,why do you think there will be massive development? Let them ask for leadership change as they fight for true federalism

The problem is not with the current governance......We have to ask our state leaders what happened to all the billions sent here all the years.......NOW TO CLARK AND OTHER LOOTERS? how did you become so so rich? and your people live in penury? The youth have to learn to manage resources first before more come in.......when u fight for more and they keep stealing...do you think you can grow? Ask for complete leadership change and we will know you are really freedom fighters
