International Training on Agri-preneurship 101
Launch and Grow Your Agribusiness with Practical Skills
Course Background
Agribusiness plays a vital role in driving economic growth, food security, and job creation, especially in rural areas. However, many aspiring and existing agri-preneurs struggle with identifying viable opportunities, understanding market needs, and managing the financial and operational demands of a successful business.
Agri-preneurship 101 is designed to equip learners with practical skills and knowledge to launch or enhance an agribusiness venture. This course demystifies the agri-preneurship process by breaking it down into clear, manageable steps—from identifying unmet needs in the agri-food value chain to developing customer-focused solutions and managing business finances.
Offered by Environmental Capacities and Sustainability (ECAS), this course is part of a broader initiative to strengthen agri-business capacity and promote sustainable development across the region. The training emphasizes real-world application, personal initiative, and strategic thinking to help learners unlock and scale agribusiness opportunities.
