This study highlighted the vital role of branding, packaging, and
labelling (BPL) in driving the economic success of food-based agripreneurs in
Punjab. Factors such as ingredient transparency, convenience, and visual appeal
build consumer trust and brand differentiation. To harness these benefits,
agripreneurs should enhance BPL strategies to better connect with consumers.
Policymakers can support this through grassroots training, financial incentives
for sustainable packaging, and clear labelling regulations. Technical support and
collaborative networks with designers and marketers can spur innovation.
Integrating BPL into vocational and agricultural education will also help
develop a skilled workforce. These efforts can elevate agribusinesses, create
rural jobs, and strengthen the agrifood value chain, positioning BPL as a key
driver of sustainable and competitive growth.
Keywords: Business success, economic growth, food
entrepreneurs, marketing.
