Abstract

The article examines the important role of women entrepreneurs in Terengganu’s keropok lekor industry in sustaining cultural heritage and contributing to local economic development. It identifies major constraints such as limited access to financial capital, inadequate business training, restrictive gender norms, and insufficient technological resources. Digital platforms and government initiatives provide opportunities for market expansion and innovation. The study highlights the need for digital literacy programmes, inclusive financial support, mentorship opportunities, and policy reforms to empower women entrepreneurs and support rural economic inclusion and cultural preservation.
