2. What is Entrepreneurship
The capacity and willingness to
develop, organize and manage a
business venture along with any of
its risks in order to make a profit.
The most obvious example
of entrepreneurship is the starting
of new businesses.
3. Characteristics of Entrepreneurs
• Successful entrepreneurs are perceived as
engineers of changes, energetic, focused, able
and willing to take control of their lives, to
survive in uncertainty and act based on limited
information;
• They must be persistent and capable to
rebound after failure. The “I can do it” attitude is
important. Those who survive through severe
selection steps of the business startup process
can make it as entrepreneurs.
4. Characteristics of Entrepreneurs
• It is also believed that
“Entrepreneurs are born, not made.”
Genetic factors can be assumed to
play an important role.
• At the same time developmental and
environmental factors are important
as well.
6. Entrepreneurial Competencies - Introduction
• A competence is an underlying
characteristic of a person which led to his
or her effective or superior performance in
a job.
• The term ‘competence’ refers to the
combination of Knowledge, Skills, Motive,
Attitude and Habits. Every role requires
some particular competencies.
7. Entrepreneurial Competencies

• Efficiency orientation
• Systematic planning
8. Entrepreneurial Competencies

9. Need for entrepreneurship in agriculture
• Entrepreneurship can provide an innovative solution to
critical agricultural issues such as:
Low crop productivity: Entrepreneurs can use
precision farming techniques to increase crops
productivity.
High input cost for agriculture: The input costs can be
minimized by incorporating data-driven decision
making and reducing the unnecessary use of input
materials.
Wastage of crops: Agri-Entrepreneurs can support
the government in creating storage facilities and use
information technology to manage the supply chain to
reduce wastage of crops.
10. Need of Agripreneurship Development
• There is a need of entrepreneurship in agriculture for
more productivity and profitability.
• This is the need of the hour as the people are facing
growing unemployment and poverty in rural areas.
• Entrepreneurship in the field of agriculture can
generate wide range of economic benefits such as
increased agri productivity, creation of new business
ventures, new jobs, innovative products and services,
development of rural areas and increased wealth.
• Agripreneur is a dynamic business manager who
performs various agri-based activities using different
resources viz, physical resources, financial resources,
human resources and information, in order to
accomplish a certain goal.
11. Entrepreneurial Environment for Farmers
• Farmers-entrepreneurs operate in a complex but unstable and
dynamic environment.
• They play an important role in producing products and moving
them to the market through the value chain in an integrated
manner to make the whole system work better and to be more
profitable in their business.
• Entrepreneurship is a key factor for the survival of farming in an
ever-changing and increasingly complex global economy.
• Farmers-entrepreneurs see their farms as a business and as a
means of earning profits by taking calculated risks to make their
farms profitable and their businesses grow.
• Becoming more entrepreneurial can be a challenge for small-
scale farmers. They will need help from extension workers and
other institutions to come up at better position as an
agripreneur.
12. Entrepreneurship Dynamics
• To become a successful farmer-entrepreneur,
they must be: technically competent, innovative
and plan ahead to gear up their farm
businesses through the stages of enterprise
development – from establishment and survival
to rapid growth and maturity.
• There are many challenges that these farmers
face such as social barriers, economic barriers,
regulations, access to finance and information,
and their own managerial capacity to cope with
risks and changes and to seize opportunities.
13. Business skills to be learnt by
farmer entrepreneurs
• Meeting the specifications of the product
at a profit;
• Negotiation between the business models
and value chain partners;
• Evaluating the sales, profitability and
growth based on seasons;
• The profitability of the whole farm;
• Generating plans that work for the long
term.
14. Challenges faced by Agri
Entrepreneurs
• Farmers are production oriented - Skill and
knowledge on post harvest technologies
lacking
• Mentoring support
• Resources mobilization – Technical,
financial, institutional
• Institutional framework – FPOs, JLGs
• Scale of production and Marketing

29. Some initiatives taken for Promotion
of Village based Biocontrol units
• Government initiatives:
Ministry of Science and Technology -
Department of Biotechnology,
Ministry of Agriculture – NIPHM
• State Agricultural Universities
• ICAR NBAIR and ICAR Krishi Vigyan
Kendras.
30. ICAR Krishi Vigyan Kendra for Tribals
• ICAR KVK Wayanad, trained tribal group
of 13 girls for generating self employment
to the tribal youth of Nellarchal tribal
colony, Kerala.
• Group was given training for six months’ in
the production of biocontrol agents such
as Trichoderma and Pseudomonas and
were registered as a self help group
(SHG) called 'Sabari'.
32. Non – Government initiatives
• Biovillage promoted by M.S.Swaminathan
Research Foundation.
• Sugar Industry particularly the promotion
of Trichogramma egg parasitoids. The
concept of Agri Service Provider
developed by Sugar Factories have
proved to be a successful business model
for production of bioagents at village level.
33. M. S. Swaminathan Research Foundation
• Imparted training to women SHG at Kannivadi,
Dindigul District on mass production of
Trichogramma
• After one year of initiation, the concept had spread
into other places and the pioneer group members
started training six groups
• Each group ran Trichogramma production as a
micro enterprise through which they reached the
farmers in and around their area and created
awareness about parasitoids and their pest control
pot
36. National Institute of Plant Health Management
• To popularize simple and low cost mass rearing
techniques of biocontrol agents
• Special capacity building programme “On-farm
production of Biocontrol agents to promote
AESA based PHM in conjunction with
Ecological Engineering for pest management”
to Master Trainers.
• The trained officers to disseminate the
techniques among farmers for production of
Biocontrol agents.
38. National Institute of Plant Health Management
• Trichogramma, Goniozus spp., Bracon spp.,
Reduviid bugs, Spiders and Coccinellids,
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs)
• Microbial biopesticides such as Trichoderma
spp., Pseudomonas, Verticilium, Metarrhizium,
Beauveria, Nomuraea, etc.
• To popularize on-farm production techniques of
biological control agents among farmers,
NIPHM is also associating with State
Governments by building capacity of the
extension Officers and providing technical
guidance to implement at village level.
39. Farm based Low cost mass production
technique for Trichoderma - NIPHM
40. Opportunities created by Agri-Entrepreneurship
• In the past few years, some notable startups have come up in
the agriculture sector and are disrupting the way Indian farmers
have been interacting with their farms.
• ‘EM3 Agri’, provides farm services related to land development,
seeding, sowing plant, plant care, and post-harvest services,
thereby maximising profit per unit of land for farmers.
• ‘Crofarm provides farm-to-business venture that uses a
combination of smart logistics solutions to minimise post-
harvest losses and help the farmers in better price discovery for
their produce.
• ‘Gold Farm’ is a farm equipment aggregator, which partners
with local entrepreneurs who can invest in farm equipment.
These farm equipment, in turn, are rented in villages on an
hourly basis. Thus, helping the farmers mechanise farming at
nominal costs.
41. Opportunities created by Agri-
Entrepreneurship
• These agri – ventures have proved that if quality
solutions are provided to the farmers, they are
willing to pay for the services. At present, the
market size of agri-tech ventures is quite small,
and the services are available only in certain
pockets.
• There is a vast scope to scale up the solutions
and increase the reach and benefits of agri-tech
ventures to improve the capability of the Indian
farmers.
42. Direct & Indirect Financial Support
• Nationalized banks
• State finance corporation
• State industrial development corporation
• District industries centers
• Differential rate schemes
