joyoftheearth: That is the scarcity season. You're about to cash out my friend ![]() I could remember how i sold 2 dozens of plantain at the local market in ijebu ode for 18k each last year April . Imagine if I had taken them to Mile 12 market. If you can harvest more bunches between March till August , Na confirm cash out |

OJURONGBE1:Yea... palm trees and cocoa trees help breakdown wind speed. secondly, average height fencing works well. Last option should be propping. 1 Like |

OJURONGBE1:You used Rain fed irrigation ryt |
Re: My Journey Into Plantain Farming - Challenges, Cost And Profit by OJURONGBE1(m): 9:27pm On Jan 13, 2021 |
Nezzjnr: No. Just pumping machine & 3yard hose. There's a river nearby the farm, so it was easy to feed the plantain trees with water. |

OJURONGBE1:I'm planning on Rain oooo |

joyoftheearth:Ohhhhh I guess there was rainfall during April ryt?? Expecting a Uniform Harvest?? I also Need your plug from where you got your suckers from and how much is it Thanks and Happy new week sir |
Re: My Journey Into Plantain Farming - Challenges, Cost And Profit by joyoftheearth: 5:59am On Jan 21, 2021 |
Yes, there was rainfall but I am not yet sure of uniform harvest. Try to find good source of suckers near you so as to keep things fresh. ![]() Nezzjnr: |

Update: We interplanted about 40 acres of the plantain farm with maize but only about 15 acres survived. The dry maize will be ready for harvest in a week. The plantains are already fruiting but will most likely be mature and ready for harvest around Apr - May. Workers for this year planting season are yet to arrive. |
Re: My Journey Into Plantain Farming - Challenges, Cost And Profit by Nezzjnr: 6:17am On Jan 21, 2021 |
joyoftheearth:I'm looking at getting that Tissue culture sucker from Lesgup... I hope it's the Giant elephant own though How will you give nutrients to the emerging sucker from the mother plant and as at when due should they be given nutrient... I intend leaving one sucker per plant for fast growth. |
Re: My Journey Into Plantain Farming - Challenges, Cost And Profit by Nezzjnr: 6:17am On Jan 21, 2021 |
joyoftheearth:Wow I guess the maize died off due to unavailability of water 1 Like |
Re: My Journey Into Plantain Farming - Challenges, Cost And Profit by joyoftheearth: 6:42am On Jan 28, 2021 |
Our workers have arrived on the farm ready to get started for the planting season. |

This is a very informative thread, especially for newbies in the agriculture sector like me. I can see "acres" being mentioned, then I ask myself,...what can I achieve on my two and half plot in Mowe that I intend to start farming...hmm ![]() |

You can always start from that. Maybe vegetable or crops that you can get good advice on. chiste1: |

joyoftheearth:Good morning Boss Do you know the variety of plantain that all these processing companies go for. It'll be better selling there than giving to all these markets like Mile12 and the rest. |
