Abstract

Cooperative and agricultural companies active in villages have a capacity to empower villagers and develop sustainable employment, which can be effective in increasing production, raising income levels, and improving people's social status. The current research was conducted with the aim of analyzing the obstacles and problems of rural entrepreneurship development in cooperative and agricultural companies. The research was conducted qualitatively and with an interpretive phenomenological approach. The statistical population of the research is managers and entrepreneurial experts of cooperative and agricultural companies in 1401, who were selected using targeted sampling of 25 people until reaching data saturation. In order to collect data, a semi-structured in-depth interview was used, and Smith et al.'s phenomenological analysis method was used to analyze the data. Based on data analysis, a total of 105 primary codes, 12 components and 5 main dimensions were extracted and classified. The results indicated that the obstacles and problems of rural entrepreneurship development in cooperative and agricultural companies consisted of 5 cultural dimensions, organizational structure, entrepreneurship support, technical and managerial structure. This research confirms that the lack of management skills has a positive effect on the failure of cooperative and entrepreneurial agricultural companies, which are mostly run by owners who have little knowledge of management, which leads to business failure. Also, the results show that the lack of proper infrastructure development in the country is also the reason for the failure of cooperative and agricultural companies. It is suggested that managers of agricultural and cooperative companies increase their knowledge and management skills by participating in workshops and seminars.
