Summary. This study identifies the main barriers preventing rural entrepreneurs in Iran from applying value chain approaches. Lack of proper financing mechanisms and weak government support emerge as the primary obstacles. Different sectors face distinct challenges: service entrepreneurs need entrepreneurial skills training, animal farmers require stronger government policies, and agricultural entrepreneurs lack specialized advisors and financial resources. The findings suggest coordinated action among financial institutions and training organizations to address these barriers.
