Abstract: Entrepreneurship on a small scale is the only solution to the problems of unemployment and proper utilization of both human and non-human resources and improving the leaving conditions of the poor masses. Therefore, Utilization of entrepreneurial information among rural women farmers in Akinyele Local Government Area Oyo State was investigated. 200 respondents with the aid of well structured questionnaire were selected through Multi-stage sampling technique. Data were analyzed using frequency counts, percentage and means and PPMC at 0.05% level of significance. The result of analysis revealed that most 45.5% of respondents are in their active age, married with majority (41.5%) had farming experience between 16 years and above. Also, utilization of entrepreneurial information among women farmers is high. However, Securing working capital, lack of transportation, lack of information and delay of payment, high cost of labor and high cost of inputs are major constraints faced by rural women farmers in the study area. PPMC Analysis reveals that there is significant relationship between constraints faced by rural women farmers and utilization of entrepreneurial information (r-value =0.365and p- valve = 0.000).It is therefore recommended that Rural women farmers should be introduced to the internet, in order to get more information on entrepreneurship. And also, various tiers of government should create programs that will catalyze entrepreneurial development with the aid entrepreneur information (with special focus for women) in the rural areas.
