Socio-economic factors affecting the entrepreneurial behaviour of RKVY R-ABI agripreneurs in Mizoram

Sanghamitra Tamuli, Saidur Rahman, Devika Bordoloi, Saphira Tripura and Badonjingnut Wahlang

The study was carried out in Mizoram to understand how different socio-economic conditions shaped the entrepreneurial behaviour of agripreneurs supported through the RKVY R-ABI programme during 2024-25. The main focus was to see how factors such as age, education, income, experience, family support, and extension contact influenced the way agripreneurs made decisions, took initiative, and managed their enterprises. Information was collected from fifty-one agripreneurs using a structured interview schedule, and the data were analysed using correlation, chi-square tests, and multiple regression. The results showed that experience, family size, income, enterprise scale, and regular interaction with extension personnel positively influenced entrepreneurial behaviour, while age had a negative effect. Variables like gender, marital status, occupation, financial assistance, and type of training did not show meaningful relationships. Regression analysis confirmed that extension contact was the strongest predictor of entrepreneurial behaviour. Overall, the study highlighted that agripreneurs demonstrated stronger entrepreneurial behaviour when they had practical exposure, supportive family environments, and continuous technical guidance. These insights suggested that strengthening extension services and capacity-building opportunities would further encourage agripreneurial growth in Mizoram.
