Entrepreneurial attributes and socio-economic influences on women agripreneurs in Kerala and Karnataka

Nikhil KS, Dr. Aparna Radhakrishnan, Dr. Deepa James and Dr. Aparna GS

The present study delves into the comparison of entrepreneurial behaviour among women in rural areas of Kerala and Karnataka, whose livelihood depends on agriculture. Ten entrepreneurial attributes were analysed to develop an index quantifying entrepreneurial behaviour, which classified respondents into different categories based on their index values. The study found that the majority of respondents exhibited a medium level of entrepreneurial behaviour. The results of the z-test for comparing both states showed that there is no significant difference in the entrepreneurial behaviour of women in Kerala and Karnataka. Socio-economic variables such as social participation and economic motivation in Kerala, and family annual income in Karnataka, showed significant correlations with entrepreneurial behaviour. By focusing on agripreneurs, policymakers can develop targeted strategies and interventions to support their growth and amplify their positive impact on the agricultural landscape in India.
