[King Belieal]

Plantain is a staple food in many parts of the world. It forms the base of many cuisines. Some people prefer to buy ripe plantains while others prefer to buy unripe plantains.

Between ripe and unripe plantain, which sells more in your location in case someone here wants to start such business in your location?

The preference between ripe and green plantains can vary greatly depending on the region and local culinary traditions. In many areas, ripe plantains tend to sell more because they are sweeter and are used in various dishes, desserts, and fried foods that appeal to a wide audience. Furthermore, many people prefer ripe plantains for eating directly or for preparing traditional dishes.

On the other hand, green plantains are used more in specific preparations such as fried foods, chips, or as an ingredient in certain stews, and their demand may be lower if the local culture lacks that culinary tradition.

In general, if someone wants to start a business in my location, and considering consumption trends in many regions, ripe plantains would likely sell more, as their use and demand tend to be higher in the general market. However, it would be advisable to conduct a local market analysis to confirm these trends.

In my own city, one would sell less of ripe plantain and would sell more of unripe plantain based on the culinary culture.

From what i have seen while both sells, people offen prefer buying the unripe one more. This is because when they buy it, they don't have to rush when it comes to consuming. Unlike buying a ripe one where you must it it soon before it goes bad.
