Contributions of green entrepreneurs traders to green economy and problems they face in global climate change

The purpose of this research is to investigate the problems faced by green entrepreneur traders working in the agricultural sector in their contributions to the green economy and global climate change, and to offer solutions. The “interview technique”, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the research. In the study, interviews were conducted with 32 farmer entrepreneurs who carry out entrepreneurial activities working in the agricultural sector in The Southeastern Anatolia Region. The research data were analyzed with the MAXQDA 2024 program, and the problems encountered by the interview participants in green entrepreneurship were examined with the word cloud. In the research, entrepreneur farmers stated that farmer entrepreneurs in Turkey should be supported by the state, that large-scale entrepreneurs have been earning more, and that state support for small-scale entrepreneurs in Turkey is very little. They remarked that production planning should be made to prevent waste of surplus production, and that those who sell quality agricultural products increase their earnings more.
