Abstract

Agriculture as an enterprise is going through transition globally. It is assuming new shape and scope and no more the ordinary cultivation of crops and rearing of animals or an enterprise for the rural people. The concept of agripreneurship is the combination of agriculture and entrepreneurship. Agripreneurship is the option to adopt in the quest to make agriculture an enterprise of appeal in contemporary business engagements. If agriculture must transit from its largely subsistence status to becoming a competitive enterprise in the assessment of entrepreneurs, incorporation of business concepts in handling issues of agriculture is the way to go. The study was mostly a review work that focussed on using agribusiness to boost job creation, increase productivity and the income bases of farmers. This was considered because a significant number of Nigeria’s population are engaged in agriculture and the development of agribusiness and agripreneurship will go a long way in curtailing unemployment that is prevalent in the economy, ensure food security and grow the economy. However, the review noted that this option is faced with various constraints and limitations in the area of experience, access to credit and infrastructure among others. Agripreneurship can contribute to social and economic development, reduction in poverty index, ensure good nutrition and food security. In addition, it will lead to diversifying the economy and income bases, providing employment and entrepreneurial opportunities.
