Hello everybody,
cultivating plantain is a business activity,agribusiness is a business like any other. I am warning people not to keep selling cultivation of plantain,
agribusiness in general as an easy thing to do and get wealthy. As any other business, you should do your own research,educate yourself about the activity, make a road map of your the activity you want to do or business plan.people talk about the demand of plantain flour, but no one is capable on providing any clear data on plantain flour consumption.Or how much does it cost to produce or mange 1 hectare of plantain? how much
does it cost to sell plantain bunches from one hectare? and what is the cost of production of one bunch of plantain? which variety grow best in your region, and what is it cycle of development? These questions need to be answer by anyone going to agribusiness.The cost is variable from one region to another. Beware of those people just writing from what they have read without any analyses.

If you are starting on your own with little knowledge,agriculture is not easy but you can leverage on others experienced agropreneurs to increase your speed rate to a successful agribusiness.
I have not seen any farmers on the agric section that have said that you plant today and millions start flowing to you tomorrow.

Check my plantain articles to know more or send any questions that might not be clear to yo at yusuffgbenga@gmail.com
i will answer you immediately

I asked before am a little bit worried about my plantation. Though I planted last July but never made plans for irrigation.
Now I know the grate difference and advantage which lies in irrigation. healthy plants which equals to bigger bunches
pls anyone out there who can help me with a gasoline pump in Ibadan should kindly contact me.

Lesgupnigeria:
Plantain as a major source of food in many
regions throughout Nigeria and Sub-saharan
Africa can be grown and processed profitably in
Nigeria.
The production of plantain as shown from
research is over 70 million metric tones per
year. Despite this figure, we are still in short
supply meaning that demand is more than
supply.
Plantain can either be used for domestic
consumption or as a source of raw material by
other processing producers.
For instance, plantain can be processed into
chips or flour and sold locally or export abroad.
Plantain flour because of its value has now
become a popular food today in both local and
foreign market.
In Nigeria, the potential national demand for
plantain flour has been estimated to be in excess
of 200,000 Tonnes/Annum
The current supply level is probably less than
20% of the estimated demand with only few
companies producing on mechanized and
commercial scale.
The facilities required for a small/medium
scale plantain flour mill include drying
machine, slicing/chipping machine, milling
machine and packaging machine.
The average production cost per Kg of plantain
flour is N236, while the average retail price per
Kg of good quality plantain flour is N330 per
Kg.
Plantain is the major raw material for plantain
flour production, and it is available all year
round in commercial quantities in many parts
of Nigeria such as
Enugu,Imo,Osun,Oyo,Ogun,Anambra,Bayelsa e.t.c
Nigeria is said to be the largest producer of
plantain in West Africa.
The processing line for plantain flour
production is as follows:
1. Sorting: This involves inspection of plantain
fingers to identify and remove unsuitable ones
i.e. spoilt, immature pulps e.t.c.
2. Weighing: The sorted plantains are properly
weighed to quantify input of the raw plantain.
3. Blanching: The green plantain fruits are
soaked in hot water for some minutes to soften
the skin for easy peeling.
4. Peeling: The plantain peels are removed
manually using sharp knives to obtain the
pulp.
5. Slicing/Chipping: The pulp is sliced or
chipped with the aid of a mechanical slicer.
6. Drying: The sliced plantain is dried in a
short time with the aid of an industrial drying
machine.
7. Milling: The dried plantain slices/chips are
milled in a hammer mill.
8. Sieving: The flour is sieved to obtain the
desire particle size.
9. Packaging: The flour is packaged in moisture
proof packaging material ready for sale.
Now, if you operate a plantain flour mill that
has the capacity to process 1tonne of plantain
flour per day, and you implement a good and
efficient marketing strategy, the following
average monthly figures are true:
Production volume per month = 29tones
(29000Kg)
Sales = N9, 570,000
Direct cost of sales = N6, 844,000
Miscellaneous = N500,000
Profit per month = N2,226,000.
Plantain flour mill can be operated profitably
any where in Nigeria. The start-up cost at a
small scale is approximately N6,000,000. This
will cover the cost of procurement of land,
factory construction, furniture, vehicle and
procurement/installation of machinery.

Who.made you farmers police by the way.
Show nairalanders your farm pictures and farming experience before you can make yourself farmers police
You have no farm,no experience,no knowledge about agricbusiness and you are arresting.
Get a good job and Get a life!
What agribusiness experience do you have, to castigate farmers in the agric section as i have seen some quote attacking other farmers on various threads.

This job given to you by your paymaster will.not pay you on the long run. Your best bet is to spend your precious time building your.mental capacity and engage in activity that will help your future.

I just checked your profile and i noticed you open the account yetrday....i wanted to by-pass your comment but i feel the need to leave some statements with you.
Tell your paymasters that they have failed

For the sake of next time always plant early latest April/May.

It allows for enough rain to sustain the crops.

Likewise, try spray Super Gro and Termex every two months.

It goes a long way

Thanks for your effort @lesgupnigeria.
I want to ask you a question here. how much is dried plantain chip sold per kilo and where can I sell it to?
Just as you have encouraged on processing plantain to flour,and you rightly talked about the cost which is even higher these days of increased pump price and unfriendly economic condition, I am planning a half way processing line which will stop at drying. so i wish to sell just the dried chip. If I can be successful with that then i can complete the production line to milling and packaging.
But let me know the current price of dried chips per kilo.
