Hybrid Plantains: 90 Fingers per Bunch and Drought-Resistant to Boost Your Farm Income

Hybrid plantains can yield up to 90 fingers per bunch. Regular varieties produce only 20–40 fingers on average. They also command higher prices. A hybrid bunch sells for ₦10,000–₦15,000, while a regular bunch goes for ₦3,000–₦6,000 depending on location. This cultivar tolerates dry spells far better. I used to lose over 50 suckers each dry season. With hybrids, I expect losses of no more than 20. On a modest plantation of 100 suckers, you can clear around ₦1 million annually with this hybrid species.
