Plantain Farming

High-yield, disease-resistant varieties of plantain suckers will be planted after land preparation involving mulching and digging planting holes. Regular practices include irrigation, composting, and removal of excess suckers to ensure high productivity. Plantain harvest starts within 8-9 months and continues regularly for about 2-3 years, achieving an annual yield of approximately 11 tons from 10 Acres.
