The agricultural center of Andrijevica is located in the easy on the eye Lim River valley in northeastern Montenegro and serves as a significant producer of mountain agrarian products. The region benefits from fertile alluvial soils along the riverbanks and cooler mountain elevations convenient for fruit cultivation and livestock breeding. In particular, the cultivation of raspberries and apples has gained economic importance in recent years, providing a stable income for many local families. Livestock farming focuses on cattle and sheep rearing on the surrounding mountain pastures like Komovi, leading to the production of high-quality cheeses and meats. Andrijevica is increasingly focusing on the certification of organic products to remain competitive in the international market. Local infrastructure includes collection points and cold storage facilities, which are essential for preserving delicate berries. Beyond food production, agrotourism is actively promoted, allowing guests to stay in traditional mountain huts known as katuns. Despite challenges posed by rural depopulation, agriculture remains the social and economic bedrock of the municipality. The combination of traditional knowledge and modern marketing secures the future of rural development.
