The ability of the agriculture sector to create an environment for youth people want to work in this sector are critical because the average Malaysian farmer is 50 years old, incorporating or accepting new farming technology is quite difficult, particularly as rural youths migrate to metropolitan areas in search of employment and a contemporary lifestyle. Thus, and most likely will increase the pressure on the volume outputs. By deepening our understanding of the concepts of financial literacy, financial well-being, and entrepreneurial intent in Malaysia, this research adds to our body of knowledge. This will make it possible for universities and the relevant ministries to create better educational or training programs that are centered on the growth of the students and, ideally, improve their financial literacy and well-being as well as their entrepreneurial intentions in the agricultural sector.This research tries to clarify the role of attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behaviour controls affect on the intentions of international entrepreneurs in the agriculture sector. Additionally, this study will investigate the moderate relationship between financial well-being and technological adoption on intention in becoming international entrepreneurs in the agriculture sector by using Theory of Planned Behaviour as the main theory. Lastly, the primary findings of this study is to explore about intentions to become international entrepreneurs in the agriculture industry.
