There are five award categories up for grabs for this year’s EoY search: small business entrepreneur, master entrepreneur, master entrepreneur, woman entrepreneur, and industry specific entrepreneur.
The agribusiness sector was chosen for this year’s industry-specific entrepreneur award, to encourage entrepreneurs “given this difficult time in our country” as a result of the El Niño weather phenomenon.
