Plantain formerly known as Musa sapientum but now called Musa paradisiaca, belongs to the banana family Musaceae. It is one of the less sweet cultivated varieties  (cultivars) of the genus Musa whose fruit is also known as the banana. They are staple foods grown throughout the tropics, constitute a major source of carbohydrates for  millions of people in Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, Asia and the Pacific.
 Nigeria is one of the largest plantain producing countries in the world (FAO, 2006). Despite its prominence, Nigeria does not feature among plantain exporting nations  because it produces more for local consumption than for export. It is ranked third among starchy staples and its output in the country has been doubled in the last 20 years.
