This study investigates the relationship between agropreneurship technology and performance in Delta State, Nigeria, with a focus on small-scale farmers. The research objectives are to examine the impact of improved seeds/feeds, mechanization, and digital agriculture on crop yields, as well as their combined effects. The framework that underpins the relationship between agropreneurship technology and the performance of small-scale farmers was the Diffusion of Innovations Theory, Technology Acceptance Model, and Resource-Based View of the Firm which provides a useful lens for understanding the adoption and impact of improved seeds/feeds, mechanization, and digital agriculture on crop yields. A survey research design was employed, and data were collected from 384 small-scale farmers using a questionnaire. The results of the regression analysis showed that improved seeds/feeds, mechanization, and digital agriculture have significant positive impacts on crop yields, both individually and in combination. The study concludes that agropreneurship technology is a crucial driver of agricultural productivity and recommends that policymakers prioritize integrated agricultural modernization strategies, enhance extension services, and establish affordable credit facilities to support smallholder farmers. The findings of this study have implications for policy decisions aimed at promoting entrepreneurship and job creation in Delta State.
