The study assessed the factors affecting entrepreneurship development among Food Marketers in Ilorin Metropolis, Kwara State, Nigeria. One hundred and ten respondents were randomly selected in four markets in Ilorin. The data was analyzed using frequency count, percentage, mean and Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The result reveals that mean age of the respondents was 30.5 years and about 58.2% were female. Record keeping skills (mean score =2.42) was the highest ranked entrepreneurial information needs of the respondents while lack of start-up capital (mean score =2.40) was the most severe factor affecting entrepreneurial activities of food marketers. There is a weak positive significant relationship between the entrepreneurial information needs and factors affecting entrepreneurial development of the respondents (r=0.407, p=0.0001). The study recommends that there should be provision of training on entrepreneurial skills based on the identified areas of needs and there should be provision of credit facilities to the food marketers as these will enhance their productivity.

Usahatani gula aren di Kabupaten Salawu memiliki potensi ekspor yang tinggi. Namun perkembangan dan keberlanjutan usahatani menghadapi berbagai permasalahan yang kompleks. Strategi pengembangan dan keberlanjutan sebuah usahatani dapat diidentifikasi dari orientasi dan karakter kewirausahaan petani. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis sikap dan orientasi kewirausahaan terhadap pengembangan dan strategi keberlanjutan usahatani gula aren di Kecamatan Salawu Kabupaten Tasikmalaya. Metode yang digunakan adalah SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, dan Threats). Penelitian dilakukan mulai Juli hingga Oktober 2020. Responden penelitian berjumlah 40 orang yang terdiri dari petani dan pengrajin gula aren yang tergabung dalam UKM Sirin dan Asosiasi Waringin Sari. Proses pengambilan data menggunakan kuesioner dan diskusi aktif pada kegiatan FGD (Focus Group Discussion). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa karakter kewirausahaan petani dan pengrajin pada faktor internal yang menjadi kekuatan yaitu sikap kerja keras, ketekunan, dan sikap menghadapi resiko, sedangkan karakter kewirausahaan yang masih menjadi kelemahan pelaku usaha tani yaitu inovasi, inisiatif, manajemen perencanaan, dan pemasaran. Sikap kerja keras pelaku usahatani adalah kemauan dan kedisiplinan dalam menjalankan usahatani. Selain itu, petani dan pengrajin gula aren berani menghadapi risiko dari sistem budidaya organik yang diterapkan. Strategi yang dapat digunakan petani dan pengrajin gula aren setelah menggabungkan faktor internal dan eksternal untuk menjamin keberlanjutan usahatani di Kecamatan Kawalu adalah offensive strategy.

The paper examines the role cluster initiative management can play for women entrepreneurs in small medium enterprises in the South African informal sector economy as forms of employment. It looks inter-relationally into aspects that heighten awareness and significance of entrepreneurial development of women. The concept of cluster initiative management at local, national, regional and global levels in relation to rural women in the informal economy is of note. The paper contextualizes the cluster notion as an important approach especially for small and medium-sized enterprises to survive and compete successfully in changing business environments while identifying key issues for due consideration. The notion of clustering has evolved over time and four domains of women’s economic empowerment are put forward. Methodology in the paper follows an exploratory study premised on reviewing existing literature through dimensions of cluster initiative management and its relevance in women entrepreneurial development. Findings of the study provide insights and recommendations into the provision of a favourable environment for cluster initiatives to flourish and draws attention of key policy-makers in decision-making that supports sustainability of women entrepreneurs towards self-employment in informal sectors of the economy.
