Globally, banana (Musa Spp.) is ranked fourth in terms of gross value production following rice, wheat and maize and its production in Zimbabwe is ranked 57 amongst 132 producing countries. Banana farming in Zimbabwe has been found to produce more profit as compared to maize and tomatoes as far as the dollar to ton ratio is concerned and therefore can be a major contributor to the economy of Zimbabwe. The review serves to troubleshoot and addressed the unavailability of proper documentation of the currently produced banana cultivars’ origin, genetic information and nutritional analysis such that germplasm conservation and improvements can be employed. The fruit requires an identification system for breeding purposes and assessments, which would then pose as an easy way of knowing characteristics, strengths and weaknesses of a particular cultivar before production. Apart from knowing the genetic characteristics of bananas, its geo-spatial distribution requires assessment. Banana production in Zimbabwe is concentrated in the warm and humid areas of Natural Region but similar climatic conditions are found in areas dotted across Zimbabwe. Using species distribution models, cultivars can be mapped to new environments mimicking the original production conditions.
