I am interested in planting banana for commercial purpose.
I would like to link up with people that are into the same field, kindly drop me your WhatsApp.
I am looking into this line of business as a retirement scheme, I have spent a good amount of time abroad and I have decided that farming is the way to go. I would like also to be furnished with the necessary information.
From what I have gathered so far, one needs to have a good water supply (borehole), then consider how secure the site is. I am a total novice in this field and would like to get more info on how to proceed. I have a budget of 10million which will involve farmland lease, borehole, mounting of security tower, electric fencing, CCTV, Security Alarm, workers yearly salary, Banana Sucker Purchase e.t.c. I am looking at planting at least 3,000-10,000 Banana sucker....
Thank you as you keep the reply coming in.

What location in Nigeria are you planning to establish as a Farmer.

Pman8:
Eastern Region, Anambra to be precise...

Bananas are best planted in an area where you have swamp or rubbish dump area ...and considering the soil texture of Anambra you need a place that has wet & dark soil texture for a good harvest product! I'll stop here...ask more specific questions.

Note: Be sure you are ready for this farm process before you purchase a land because you can only use such a land for yam after delving into the banana farming...moreso bananas require very less water usage if you can get a swamp land for the farming process and bananas easily reprocreate more!

Okay. But where is your market. First rule, know your market to become a determinant of the farm. From specie sorting to planting, spacing, nutrients management, growth process. Weed management till sales point

I know everything about its entire setup process from start till finish.
