The methodology used in this study involved a combination of descriptive and quantitative research. The total population was 247 rural women entrepreneurs in the Provinces of Gilan, Mazandaran and Golestan. Based on the results of the study, contact with agricultural experts was the main influencing factor in entrepreneurial activities of rural women. It was found out that relatives and family members were the main sources of information for entrepreneurs. The results also show that there is need for more training and education of rural women in improving their entrepreneurial activities.
