Purpose: Entrepreneurship is a qualified concept that brings more than economic and social development of countries by bringing together production factors in a field of activity. Entrepreneurship, which is considered only for commercial and industrial areas, is not considered for the agricultural sector, which also causes farmers and agricultural producers not to see themselves as entrepreneurs.
