Assam is endowed with vast natural and human resources but we have failed to utilize all the natural and human resources properly due to the lack of latest technology skills, training and Information. There are tremendous prospects of Cane and Bamboo based small scale industries in the entire northeast region. The production of different items for both domestic and commercial purposes has been continuing in this region from time immemorial. But due to ignorance of Modern Technologies and lack of management, motivation of the artisans, these viable and economically benefited affluence has been contributing very marginally to the economy. The traditionally made Cane and Bamboo products are gradually Hammered by the Industrialization, and therefore it is the need of the day to change the conventional methods by modern high productive innovations, so that per unit production cost will fall and per labour productivity will increase. Because of the emergence of modern technology in this sector it is the time to adopt a new vision to create new entrepreneurs in the field of rural based small scale industries as like as Cane and Bamboo products which are eco friendly, bio-degradable and sustainable. It is an important factor to solve the unemployment problem of Assam which is confronted to us as a burning problem as the government also failed to maintain this problems in the proper scenario.

First, several theoretical issues and frameworks useful to further development of Agripreneurship are explored. Second, the important role of cluster theory is highlighted. Third, learning theory and Knowledge Management is shown to be core issues for Agripreneurship. The terms, entrepreneurship and agripreneurship are frequently used in the context of education and small business formation. Particular countries have preference for the use of the terms in specific circumstances. The purpose of this paper is to clearly set out promotion of agri export through entrepreneurship development and understanding of the issues where the terms are commonly used. It involves an analysis of the literature to identify similarities and distinctions particularly in areas of entrepreneurship and business start-ups. The findings indicate that through these concepts the country has developed agribusiness in a value added manner for export purposes and even now farmer is becoming real agripreneurs. With a view to promoting agricultural exports from the country and remunerative returns to the agripreneur community in a sustained manner, the concept of the Agri Export Zones (AEZ) was floated in sixty places in India for various agricultural produce. These zones have been set up for end to end development for export of specific products from a geographically contiguous area supported by agripreneur.
