Abstract: This study determined the mediating effect of risk-management practices on the relationship between attitude of farmers and sustainability of banana production in Southern Philippines, particularly on direct provincial players which include Davao Region, Bukidnon, Digos, North Cotabato, and ARMM area. The research design used in this study was the descriptive-correlation that involved 400 banana growers as respondents. The purposive random sampling technique was done in selecting the respondents. Sets of adapted survey questionnaires were used in obtaining data from the respondents which were subjected for content validity and reliability analysis. The data were analyzed using the Mean, Pearson-r, Multiple Regression Analysis, and Medgraph using Sobel z-test. The results revealed that the levels of attitude constructs, sustainable production, and risk-management strategies of banana growers are evident most of the time. Moreover, significant relationship existed between these variables. A significant partial mediation of risk-management strategies in the relationship between attitude and sustainable production of farmers in Southern Mindanao was proven in the study. Moreover, the results of the study may contribute to a more comprehensive problem structuring and theory development in confronting the issues in sustainable agriculture.
