Recommendations

In line with the robust demand for high-quality agricultural produce in the tourism sector and the overall trend toward health-conscious consumption, agribusiness holds considerable potential for expansion in Montenegro. The agricultural sector is vital for the economy, playing a significant role in both economic and social welfare. Hence, Montenegro Investment Agency emphasizes enhancing and developing the agriculture sector, focusing on improving agricultural value chains, boosting farmers’ productive capacities, and promoting sustainable agricultural practices. The government’s strategy includes initiating medium-scale production facilities, developing urban agricultural models, and augmenting the production of traditional crops to ensure community nutritional safety.

Our strategy to enhance the agricultural sector involves identifying investment opportunities and nurturing an environment conducive to sustainable growth. The aim is to cater primarily to the tourism sector by successfully operating several commercial agricultural islands. These efforts are integrated into our broader strategy to reinforce food safety and security, promote sustainable agricultural practices, and improve institutional coordination. By investing in agriculture, Montenegro Investment Agency is committed to supporting sustainable, profitable future initiatives, ensuring economic, environmental, and social sustainability within the sector.
