This study examines the problems faced by trained agribusiness entrepreneurs in establishing and running their agribusiness ventures. Data were collected in south India from 99 trained agribusiness entrepreneurs who have not started their venture and 46 who have already established theirs.9th April 2002, Government of India was launched Agri clinics and agribusiness centers (ACABC) scheme which is being implementing jointly by NABARD and MANAGE since its inception. Presently, 116 nodal training institutes (NTIs) were providing specialized training, government also providing subsidy-based credit facilities to Agri graduates for setting up Agri venture, but the progress was not seen good and satisfactory during the last one decade. The present study was conducted in Uttar Pradesh state during 2013 to 2017 and based on the primary data collected through field survey by pre tested questionnaires from 150 sample Agri graduates. The statistical techniques such as frequencies, scores and percentages were used to find out the problems of Agri-Preneurs in establishing and operating Agri ventures in Uttar Pradesh state. In the results, it was found that lack of own money to start business, lack of proper handholding support from NTIs, lack of family support, lack of business and field experience, high rate of interest on loan and a lot of formalities in getting bank loans were the major problems in establishing Agri venture, while heavy competition from existing market players, marketing and infrastructural problems, perishability and season ability of products, fluctuation in demand and prices of products, illiteracy and lack of knowledge of the farmers and insufficient cash in hand to run the business were the major problems faced by agripreneurs in operating Agri venture. Thus, the present study mainly focused on the major problems faced by agripreneurs in starting and operation of Agri ventures under the Agri clinic and agribusiness Centre (ACABCs) scheme in Uttar Pradesh state.
