Unbelievable 😳 I saw a plantain chips processor turning waste into wealth… Creating jobs for over 200 people AND using plantain peels to feed livestock 🐐🌱 Meanwhile in Ghana 🇬🇭… What are we doing with our plantain peels? Throwing them away? Letting them rot? Are we losing money… or...

42 bunches of plantain for ₦70,000. I thought the woman was joking. She wasn’t. We harvested a lot of plantain last week, but my boys mistakenly missed some bunches. So we decided to go back today and harvest the remaining ones. In total, we got 42 bunches. Instead of calling our regular buyers, I said… “Let’s even sell to those women by the roadside today.” They are always waving at our trucks whenever we’re loading plantain out of the farm. I figured it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have them as small-scale buyers. After all… There is nothing like having too many customers. Little did I know we were about to receive the biggest shock of the day. The moment we parked, the women rushed over. They were all smiling. Laughing. Talking. They insisted we should bring every bunch down so they could inspect them properly. My boys brought everything down. These women touched every bunch. Pressed every bunch. Turned them around. Checked the size. Checked everything. After they were finally satisfied… We started talking price. I told them we were giving them a good price because they were first-time customers. ₦65,000 per dozen. Since we had 42 bunches (3½ dozen), the total came to ₦227,500. I even rounded it down to ₦220,000. The next thing that came out of one woman’s mouth nearly gave me high blood pressure. She said… “We cannot pay more than ₦70,000 for everything.” ₦70,000. For all 42 bunches. I didn’t even argue. Immediately she finished talking, I told my boys… “Load everything back into the vehicle.” She quickly changed tone. “Ahh… it’s not a fight now. Let’s negotiate.” I told her… “It is a fight oh. You cannot price my sweat like that and tell me it’s not a fight.” “I don’t negotiate with wicked people.” “I don’t negotiate with enemies of progress.” As she realized i was really angry, she started talking to my boys directly. I immediately told every one of them… “Nobody should answer her.” We loaded everything back entered the vehicle and drove off. Straight to Lagos. We took it to one of the restaurants we normally sell to. The same plantain… Was later Sold for ₦270,000. As a farmer, always make sure you have options. And for the sake of your mental health avoid those women that sell produce on the road side the are the worst customers Also Having multiple buyers is not a luxury. It’s your bargaining power.
