Good morning, If i want to start with 1 acre, how many suckers will i need and which is the best that matures fast and produce big fruits (hybrid or normal), how much will it cost me to get the suckers and for your firm to manage it for me.

Thank you

It actually depends on the spacing or farm layout style you prefer between 700-1000 suckers will do.
Hybrid is better because you will know the source of your suckers this will help you incase you have any challenge
Our suckers is now N100 Farm Gate Price.
We will teach you or your staff all you needed to know about plantain plantation managment including market. If you are busy we can also help you hired an experienced farm manager.

Land preparation is crucial.

I pray that 2015 will be a great year of bountiful harvest for each and every one of us IJN. AMEN

Plantain loves poultry waste so give your plantain enough of it.

Am setting up a plantain farm now in Ado-ekiti using sprinkler irrigation.

This is from a 7months old plantain

Merry Christmas in advance to all my followers on this thread. Please do ensure you eat well this festve season. Unfortunately, I have gone through a terrible run of weeks (about a month). After the meeting with the farmers at ogbomosho I have been sick, really sick. Well, according to the doctors I suffered soft tissue infection. Which led to an operation. Am fine, thank you . This is the reason why the thread has been on slowmo for some weeks now. Well, there's no holiday for the farmers but the doc said I should take some time off from tedious work (a month or 2). So... I'll have all the time for you guys once am discharged fully from the hospital. Unfortunately I won't be joining much in the festive flexing due to restrictions on what and what I can eat and drink. Abeg make una kindly share my portion. . God Bless Y'all

Bro. am so sorry

When doing your land preparation you have to put into consideration your road layout for easy vehicular movement.Harvest time should be stress free.

Effective project management is also key for a successful farm project. Your workforce must be well motivated to get the best from them.

Land preparation still on going. Solid land preparation is the foundation of any crop farming project. Got the supply for the poultry waste.

Farm Layout is one of the crucial part of land preparation.

Glory to God we got to Ado-ekiti safely. Land Preparation commence immediately.

Thank God for his grace we arrived Ado-ekiti safely and land preparation commences immediately.

ohh thanks boss! which time if d year can one plant this crop? how reliable can one get a standard breed I read somwhere on naira land that one can get plantain breed dat will produce in 7months but on this streem nairaland all am see seeing is 12-14months

You can call the guys at IITA as for me I don't know of the 7 months variety.

seunopeyemi:
how much can one make in this business with 300k already have 3 acres of land in oyo state and how long is will it take for production

Your N600k can give you N500 1st year
It takes 9-12 if the plantain is well feed.

i know plantain has a time it sells higher. there are times of the year dt if u are travelling , u buy a big bunch of plantain for 400naira at ore. There are other times it is more expensive.
The market women should know this time.

So when is the time??
You claim to have a plantain farm and you dont know anything about the season. You claim to be a banker but market women are now smarter than you. https://www.nairaland.com/1923142/monkeys-plantain-banana-plantation

mercylicious:

Banker olodo,
Did I talked about BANK LOAN in any of my post?
I said I have an agribusiness program that involves youths which I will like to push into the new federal government agricultural scheme if only the initiative is real. Simple!!! I wonder when Nigeria will be stable with people like you who give impulsive responses without fully understanding the subject matter.
