East-west's Strategy towards ensuring you get Quality Seeds at every time. I respect that. I'll make a video explaining why.












I just found the plantain variety I’ve been searching for for years. This morning, a friend sent me a video of the plantain he harvested from his backyard. The moment I saw it… I froze. I immediately knew it was the French Giant variety. I’ve been searching for this particular variety for a long time I even reached out to a Cameroon farmer that I know to see if he have it I was ready to pay any amount to have it shipped then But most of the ones I’ve come across were either hybrids or varieties I wasn’t confident will do well under Nigerian conditions. I didn’t even bother typing or chatting with my guy oh I called him on a video call straight up . I told him, “You’re joking right ? where did you get this plantain from? Then he turned the camera around. He showed me the mother plant. He showed me the suckers. That’s when I knew this was real. I told him: “You have no idea what you’re sitting on.” Now we’ve got a new project on our hand for this month. We’re going to clone the mother plant and mass-produce the suckers for large-scale planting. If this variety performs the way I believe it can… It will completely change the way I approach plantain farming. Here’s what got me excited the most This single bunch had 146 fingers when we counted them. For comparison, the popular Elephant Giant variety usually produce around 20–25 fingers on a good bunch. That’s why I’m so excited. The plan now is to multiply the suckers Plant it Document everything. This might end up being one of the biggest discoveries we’ve made on the farm
