Abstract

The coastal zone occupies a narrow strip of Montenegro’s territory, and it is the most densely populated region in Montenegro. This region comprises six municipalities: Bar, Budva, Herceg Novi, Kotor, Tivat and Ulcinj. The main characteristic of rural areas in the coastal region is the fragmentation of agricultural holdings, negative demographic trends, underdeveloped rural infrastructure and low degree of commercialization of agricultural holdings. In the field of agricultural production, the basic orientation is focused on the development of Mediterranean agriculture and mariculture. In the upcoming period, it would be necessary to put the existing natural resources into the function of agriculture development, primarily organic farming. Complementarity of agriculture and tourism is increasingly important, since the broad range of domestic products enrich the tourism offer, making it unique. Through the affirmation of national cuisine and specific Montenegrin products, tourism can be a powerful generator for Mediterranean agriculture development. To achieve the objectives set, the return of young and well-educated people to rural areas and their focusing on agricultural production is essential.
