Plantain Production Investment Project

Plantain Production Investment Project (PPIP) is established by landacres properties and agroservices under the project Wemustfarm Nigeria to bring together about one thousand investors interested on providing Nigeria consumers quality plantains, fresh from the farm. Dedicated to long term plantain growing.

According to the Food and Agriculture
Organisation (FAO), Nigeria ranks as one of the largest plantain producing countries in the world. But despite its prominence, the country does not feature among plantain exporting nations because it produces more for local consumption than for export.
Statistics from worldatlas ranks Nigeria fifth in the world, behind Cameroon, Ghana, Uganda and Colombia in plantain production. The country produces an estimate of 3.09 million tons of plantains by both small-scale farmers and large-scale farmers.
Reports have it that the daily demand for the produce is rising tremendously and could outweigh supply soon.
The growing number of plantain chips producers is believed to be responsible for the high demand experienced currently in the country, which also explains its potential for growth.

Aside boiling, plantain could be processed into pastry, pastry mixed with beans, fried plantains, plantain fritters and chips.
It was further learnt that jams, marmalades, juice, vinegar, beer and alcohol could be made from ripe plantain fruits. In some towns and villages around Ife, Osun State, a non- alcoholic drink called Sekete is made from plantain.
Plantain can be processed into flour for healthy confectionaries. Plantain peels can be processed into animal feed, the trunks are used for ropes, table mats and handbags, wine, syrups, biscuits and others.
We understand that many challenges are hampering the prospects of the crop, which need to be addressed And we are determined to explore the full potential.
