Whats the profit tendency of the business bro...

It Depends... One Is Sure To Make Profit...There Are Various Ways Of Getting Involved In The Business...The Best Ways Are 1) Having Acres / Hectares Of Land To Cultivate Plantain And Sell After Cultivation (2) Buying From Villages, Transorting Them To The Markets In Big Cities Like Abuja, Lagos, Portharcourt, Bayelsa Etc ( Where They Are Expensive) And Re-selling Them There.... The First One Is Capital Intensive While The Other Is Not...The ROI ( Return On Investment) Is Far Above 200% ...I Have Taken Much Feasibility Studies In This Area And My Dad Is Also A Plantain Farmer And Processor...He Processes His Own Into Plantain Flour In Ogun State...I Will Talk Better On This Aspect Pretty Much Later As I Would Be Delving Into The Processing Very Soon...This Is Going To Be My First Trip Though, And I Shall Be Updating You Guys With The Challenges, Results And Success Of The Trip...

Thanks Blood... Here In Ondo State, The Plantain Is Very Cheap And Can Be Gotten For #4,000 Or #4,500 Or #5,000 Per Dozen Of Bunches. Plantain Is Harvested On The Farm In Bunches, Twelve Bunches Which Is A Dozen Is Sold Very Cheap Between #4,000 - #5,000 Depending On Sizes, Negotiation Power, Supplies And Demands...The Transportation Cost From Farm Settlement Is Also Is Another Factor...Getting A Very Cheap One Is All That Matters...My Team Worked On This Aspect As We Spoke To Someone Related To One Of Us Who Has A Trailer That Would Help Transport Our Plantain Cheaply...Usually, It Costs Between #35,000 - #40,000 To Transport From Here To Lagos...There Are Inter-state Taxes Paid While Transporting This Kind Of Food Items Too. It Is Necessary To Do A Market Survey Too And Get Contacts Of Buyers Wherever You Are Taking Your Goods To...The Market Is Readily Available Though...

Okay, Thats Good To Hear...So, Presently What Do You Do?

I Dont Really Want To Post A Paper Work ( Break Down) Here As They Don't Really Conform With Real Life Experiences...But I Guess I Would Find Time To Post It Here Before We Embark On The Trip So We Could All Compare It With The 'Real Life Experience'...

Very Close To The Village...In Less Than 10mins, I Should Be With The Rest Of My Team.

Interesting thread! Will see how this will pan out as it's part of my plans to get some savings into this agriculture of a thing. Bonne Chance djdoxxx!
