This article explores the development of small business and private entrepreneurship within the agricultural sector, emphasizing its role in stimulating rural development, reducing unemployment, and ensuring food security. The research analyzes institutional, financial, and infrastructural mechanisms supporting agribusinesses and identifies key challenges such as land access, financing gaps, and market integration. Based on comparative analyses and national trends, the paper proposes practical recommendations for enhancing the sustainability and competitiveness of small-scale agribusinesses in transitional economies.
