Our Story

One of the most profitable businesses you can go into in the agric sector is to go into plantain farming.

West Africa happens to be one of the few places around the world where plantain can successfully be cultivated simply because they have the best soil composition that can support the growth of plantains and they can boast of having over 100 species of plantain.

The capital required to setup a plantain farm can be considered to be moderate but it is indeed a very profitable business to go into as an entrepreneur who lives in Nigeria or in any country with a tropical climate.

The fact that loads of people eat plantain makes plantain farming a very lucrative business. Plantains can be eaten when fried or cooked. Plantains can be processed into various forms; it can be processed as juice, and it can as well be processed as plantain chips, amongst others.

​

 ETENMUA WOMEN SUPPORT FARM is also a training farm, but we expect that the farm will yield income for the continuation of the project intended to help widows in our community to earn a living . At harvest, half of the produce will be given to the widows while the remaining half goes into the project for continuity.
