The project is on plantains plantation. Where a hectare of land is used to plant plantains. Very important for feeding the population and eliminating hunger. why plantains? Because it's easy to plant, consumption is easy and sells round the world.

01.01 Describe your project in more detail

Plantains plantation can be done Maximum for 14 months depending on the feeding and caring of the crops. Using a hectare of land, we could plant 5000 suckers of plantains with each bearing a bunch. Let's say if 3.000 suckers arrive maturity (2000 suckers were attacked by pest and couldn't grow well) We still have a good output. Having 3.000 bunch of plantains with one cost at 2500frs. Multiplying times 3.000 bunch is a lot of money. Investing a million FRS CFA could end up having SIX MILLION FRS CFA.
