Agro Enterprises for Empowering Farm Women

Entrepreneurship is considered as vital ingredient for not only globalization besides creating diverse opportunities for future potential performers. Training of women given them immense confidence and encouragement to serve and discover new business avenues is beyond doubt. The participation of women in economic activities is necessary not only from a human resource point of view but also is essential even from the objective of raising the status of women in the society. Women entrepreneurship must be moulded properly with entrepreneurial traits to meet the changing trends and challenges in global markets. Though much more opportunities are available for entrepreneurial development, some enterprises are significantly important. Selection of enterprises depends on the availability of raw material, scope for sustaining and establishing market network. This book gives a broad idea about the importance of such enterprises which are feasible for farm women. Techniques of Mushroom production, Layer production and Value addition of fruits and vegetables were the enterprises covered in detail in this book. The critical areas in which farm women require training and strategies to combat the constraints in establishing agro enterprises were also incorporated in this book. This book will serve as a valuable reference material for upcoming entrepreneurs, field functionaries of women development programmes, food processing industries, NGOs, public and private sector training centers, graduates and agricultural other related enterprises.
