However, there are several calculated and uncalculated risks that had to be faced by agro entrepreneurs in their agro projects which may force them to accommodate possible loss from effect of risks using the same funding. The methodology of this paper is through quantitative research based on questionnaires to identify patterns of agro entrepreneurs facing various types of risks. The general finding of this paper shows that agro-entrepreneurs faced various risks, which also shows there is a need to have proper Shariah -compliant financing for their agro projects through Islamic banks.
