There is a specie of plantain that can produce upto 90 fingers a bunch. It is called hybrid plantain. This species is the best for any plantain plantation. The regular plantain species will give you between 20 - 40 fingers per bunch. This hybrid species bunches sell between 10k - 15k depending on your location but the regular species sell between 3k - 6k also depending on your location. Another advantage of this hybrid species is that it survives dry season unlike the regular species. I have a plantation with over 100 suckers but I loose more than 50 suckers each year during the dry season but with this hybrid species, I am hopeful to that the losses will not be more than 20 each year. It is also very hard to make up to 1million yearly from the regular species depending on the farm size though but with this hybrid species, only 100 suckers will give you a million yearly. |

Wealthyonos:No, I am not in Lagos. Farming is for those living in remote areas not urban areas |
