Identifying the enablers and barriers of agripreneurship: a review and research agenda

Purpose The purpose of this study is to systematically review existing literature to identify the key enablers and barriers influencing agripreneurship and to propose a comprehensive research agenda for fostering sustainable agricultural entrepreneurship. This paper seeks to identify the key enablers and barriers influencing agripreneurship by reviewing existing literature and proposing a research agenda. Design/methodology/approach The study highlights important enablers, barriers and socio-cultural constraints using the TCCM Approach. By identifying these factors, the paper provides a framework for understanding the ecosystem surrounding agripreneurship and its dynamics. Findings The study identifies key enablers of agripreneurship such as access to finance, government support, technology adoption and skill development, while highlighting major barriers including inadequate infrastructure, limited market access and lack of entrepreneurial training. The findings emphasize the need for integrated policy and institutional frameworks to strengthen agripreneurial ecosystems and guide future research. Practical implications The study offers policy implications for overcoming barriers with the help of the enablers in agripreneurial activities. It is suggested that policymakers, practitioners and researchers should create an environment conducive to agripreneurship, thereby contributing to sustainable agricultural transformation. Originality/value The study contributes to academic literature and informs policymakers, practitioners and researchers to create an environment conducive to agripreneurship, thereby contributing to sustainable agricultural transformation.
