The data analysis technique used is descriptive qualitative. Interviews were carried out with parties related to entrepreneurial empowerment activities in the Balekambang Islamic boarding school from caregivers, students who manage business units.

The goal of entrepreneurship is to make the pesantren independent and able to become the foundation of the sector. The results show that the Balekambang Islamic Boarding School has run agro-industry as well as small-scale agribusiness, prioritizing meeting the needs of the pesantren, so that it has not become an agroindustry in the pesantren. This is due to the lack of interest in students and understanding of the benefits of learning entrepreneurship in Islamic boarding schools, both in agribusiness and agro-industry. The management has not been maximized.
