Entrepreneurship

Technical Competencies
In addition to being entrepreneurs, entrepreneurial 
farmers must also be excellent farmers. This requires 
technical competencies particularly in three areas: 
managing inputs, managing production and managing 
marketing.
Managerial Competencies
Entrepreneurial and technical competencies need to 
be complemented by managerial competencies in the 
functions of diagnosis, planning, organising, leading 
and controlling. The farmer-entrepreneur performs these 
functions in each of the key areas of the farm business: 
managing inputs, production and marketing.
