Sweerglobal plantain farm in Nigeria is part of the company’s efforts to combat food shortages and hunger in Nigeria. The farms are located in the south-South region of Nigeria, where farmers in the region have been plantain growers for over 2 centuries. Historians believe plantains may have been grown in eastern Africa as early as 3000 BCE, and in Madagascar by 1000 BCE. There is no record as when it was first grown in Nigeria; however, the plantain had certainly reached the African continent between 500 BCE and 500 CE and has become one of the most consumed foods in Nigeria. The plantain can be broiled, fried, toasted, or roasted. SWEERGLOBAL FARMS grow plantains for individual and retail markets. Offtakers can order now by visiting our website.
