The major objective of the study was to assess challenges and opportunities for rural entrepreneurship development based on empirical evidence from "Gelgela" Dairy and "Yichalal" Poultry Production Enterprises located in Bosa Qacha Kebele of Sodo Zuriya Wereda of Wolaita Zone.

This study investigated the challenges and opportunities for rural entrepreneurship development in Ethiopia taking the case "Gelgela" Dairy and "Yichalal" Poultry Production Enterprises located in Bosa Qacha Kebele of Sodo Zuriya Wereda of Wolaita Zone in SNNPRS. Regardless of the fact that some of the challenges and opportunities were shared in common with enterprises engaged in similar ventures, it would be difficult to infer the results to the other enterprises within another Weredas of the same Zone since rural locations differ in many aspects. Consequently, findings cannot be generalized to broader rural locations in SNNPRS and the whole country.
