Mushroom cultivation is recognized as an ecofriendly alternative for agro-waste recycling with tremendous capabilities to provide better nutrition for the vast vegetarian population, employment generation and a good income source. The AlCRP on Mushroom since its inception at IGKV, Raipur in the year 1989 had been instrumental in bringing out superior strains of paddy straw mushroom, milky mushroom and oyster mushroom. At present, four mushroom varieties namely, Volvariella spp, Calocybe indica, Pleurotus spp. and Agaricus bisporus have been recommended for round the year cultivation in the country. Chhattisgarh is an ecological hub of many natural wild edible species of macro-fungi which has been extensively surveyed, documented, characterized and preserved as dry and wet specimens from different agro-ecological zones. Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwadalaya has been instrumental in promoting mushrooms as food and livelihood enterprise for more than two decades especially tropical mushrooms for which a substantial policy level intervention is required in regulating the marketing, pricing and food label claims.

This study covers literature on several driving factors of entrepreneurial activity, trying to formulate a framework of determinants of early stage agricultural entrepreneurial activity. For this purpose, the adult population survey (APS), 2013 data of factor driven economies published by GEM (Global Entrepreneurship Monitor) has been used. The selected respondents (848) include those individuals who, alone or with other individuals, presently involved in venture creation, including any self-employment or selling any goods or services to others in agricultural sector. The impact of cognitive and social capital factors on early stage entrepreneurial activity is measured using logistic regression. The findings suggest that its opportunity perception and selfefficacy who are the major motivators of early stage entrepreneurship in developing nations. Also, there is gender biasness and ageing negativity with respect to new agri-business creation in developing countries. The policymakers are advised to promote motivational talks by successful entrepreneurs, motivating the budding entrepreneurs and making others understand the positives of new venture creation. This study is one of its kind conducted on agricultural entrepreneurship contributing the existing literature by explaining the impact of cognitive and social capital factors on early stage agri-preneurship in factor driven economies.
