Bijelo Polje is the preeminent agricultural and economic hub of northern Montenegro. The fertile Lim River valley provides exceptional conditions for livestock farming as well as cereal and fruit cultivation. The dairy and meat processing industries are particularly concentrated in this region, with local producers supplying the entire domestic market and various export destinations. The city functions as a regional distribution center for agro-food products and regularly hosts major agricultural trade fairs. Beyond primary production, there is an increasing trend of investment in modern processing facilities aimed at enhancing the value chain of local goods. Its location along the main north-south highway and the Belgrade-Bar railway line significantly aids the logistical distribution of agricultural outputs. In recent years, organic farming initiatives have gained prominence, bolstered by state and international development funds. Agriculture remains the backbone of the local economy, sustaining thousands of livelihoods throughout the broader Bijelo Polje municipality.
