Introduction The agricultural sector is a cornerstone of the global economy, particularly in developing countries, where it constitutes a significant portion of GDP and provides employment for a large part of the population. However, the sector faces numerous challenges, such as low productivity, limited access to capital, outdated farming techniques, and the effects of climate change. To address these challenges and foster sustainable growth, the promotion of entrepreneurship in agriculture has emerged as a key solution[1]. Entrepreneurship in agriculture involves not only the establishment of new businesses and the introduction of innovative technologies but also the creation of value chains that connect producers to markets efficiently. By encouraging entrepreneurship, governments and private entities can stimulate agricultural productivity, enhance food security, and boost economic growth in rural areas. In many cases, entrepreneurial ventures lead to the adoption of modern farming practices, improved supply chains, and the diversification of agricultural products, resulting in increased income and job creation[2].
