The important dimensions for agro-enterprise promotion are the technological backstopping, required support system, marketing, finance, credit systems, quality control etc. Lack of self-confidence and knowledge regarding these aspects make graduates less conscious towards agribusiness. Hence present study was conducted to indentify constraints perceived by post graduate students of SAUs of Gujarat in acceptance of agribusiness. Major constraints which perceived by the agricultural postgraduates, 1. bank loan procedure is extensive, 2. lack of consciousness to have agribusiness, 3. inadequate technical knowledge regarding agribusiness and 4. The dominant logic that only experienced person can run the agribusiness and lack of support from the family.
