The main objective of the paper was to conduct an exploratory research, using the literature review methodology, to ascertain the current status of knowledge on entrepreneurship in farming (agripreneurship) in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI). The literature review found many definitions of agripreneurship and who is a farmer entrepreneur (agripreneur) and also provided field evidence of agripreneurship and agripreneurs, but all from other countries. The exploratory research also found that other factors, for example the lack of entrepreneurship research by economic sector of activity, the oil-based economy, the traditionalism and high heterogeneity of the agricultural sector, conflict and post conflict zones as well as the particular nature of local conditions found in Iraq and the KRI all contribute to dampening entrepreneurship and research on entrepreneurship in agriculture. Consequently it was found that the current status of knowledge on agripreneurship in the KRI may be low, but may not be inexistent. However, the findings could support and guide needed future field research in the KRI on agripreneurship and related agripreneurs and the numerous definitions of agripreneurship and agripreneurs found from other countries could be very useful to develop a construct for developing a definition of agripreneurship and definitions of agripreneurs in the KRI.
