Plantain is one of the major cash crops in Nigeria with both local consumption and export value. Nigeria is the world's largest producer of plantain after Ghana, yet the value chain remains under-exploited.

• Commercial cultivation of hybrid plantain suckers.
• Primary processing into plantain flour and dried chips.
• Distribution through major wholesalers, supermarkets, and export agents.

The company is incorporated with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) as a Limited Liability Company under Nigerian law.
