These are good investments people can lay hands on instead of buying extra 10 cars that they don't need. Everything you see here both the cost of the land and plantation is not up to price of one flashy car that some people wasted money on when they have already have more than 3 private cars in their garage. It doesn't cost much to establish farm, but it feeds you forever if properly managed. If you are living abroad think about establishing something like this here in your community especially those who came from these areas that have excess land for farming. Only $3,00 Dollars more or less may set up a farm like this and it will be yours for life while you remain in overseas.
Hello Thank you so much for educating us. I am from Sierra Leone and I want to engage in this kind of farming but I don’t know how to go about it. What is the best compatible soil for plantain plantation. I know you understand best what I mean
@@ChidavAgriculturalHub Good but Try 3m X 3m next time to give more space. And in between you can plant cocoyam. And you can make some money too from that- both the leaves and the cocoyam itself.
Hello sir...Your video are very educating... honestly.i have a question for you sir... i have a 6 months plantain plantation. i just discovered the lower leaves ate just getting yellowish rapidly.what do i fo?Very urgent
Apply some fertilizer not compost or manure. NPK 15 15 15 would be fine. Also, prune the lower yellowing leaves and allow for the younger and fresher leaves
I planted about 6 thousand suckers of banana last year and is about to be ready for harvest, where can I get buyer for it or did you think I should sell it locally, thanks
Hey I got a question for you. Do you apply mulch or straw to any of your crops? That would help retain moisture in the soil. I hear Nigeria has dry season. During that season irrigation might be a problem cause the soil will dry out quicker.
If you have enough mulch, you can mulch your field. And if you have irrigation, you can irrigate your field, however, if your timing to setup is right and the crops get established before the drought season, they will survive the drought season and bounce back again during the rainy season.

The difference is that hybrid is an improved variety from the regular local suckers or plantain, while, Elephant Giant variety is an hybrid variety we cultivate and sell.
Plantain farmers are often poor in Nigeria. Marketers buy a dozen of plantain for 7000naira in my area in Nigeria. This is frustrating to farmers and are most often discouraged from farming plantain. Pricing has been a major issue here

Amazing Bro, keen to start up mine soon.

As a new farmer my plantain will soon be ready for harvest where can I get a buyer or should I sell it locally.
Start selling locally and from there, you will understand the market and then scale up internationally

You start you sells locally, and then understand the market system in your area as you expand.
Ok many thanks for your prompt response
Wow
Amazing
How long does the farm take to start producing fruits?
Bro. How many suclers good for one acre .
Like how much is ur targetted profit?? .
For one acre using 2m by 2m, you would need 1,000 suckers
Amount to be realized is dependend on mant factors , however, plantain is very lucrative
How often should we apply manure to plantain before harvesting?
Does tissue culture suckers achieve the same yield as normal suckers?
I heard after the first yield you don’t get any suckers
We’ve not worked on this experiment, so, we cannot give a verdict on that for now
