The study aimed to determine the effects of production and marketing practices of the socioeconomic condition of banana farmers in four municipalities of Luna, Pudtol, Flora, and Santa Marcela. Results reveal that farming experience, farm size and annual income are significantly related with the adoption of recommended banana production and marketing technologies. The level of adoption of banana production and marketing practices is significantly related with increase in income and improvement in quality of yields. These significant effects on increase in income gave credibility to the farmers and improved their socioeconomic status as evidenced by their ability to acquire lighting facilities and luxuries such as Television/Betamax sets
