Descripción
This reports highlights the strategic importance of sheep and goat farming in sustaining rural livelihoods, preserving cultural traditions, and supporting food security in Montenegro. While livestock numbers have remained relatively stable, challenges such as limited financial resources, labour shortages, and climate change impacts hinder sectoral growth. The report emphasizes Montenegro’s potential to develop niche markets for artisanal cheeses and speciality meats by leveraging its unique geography and biodiversity. Recommendations include modernizing infrastructure, promoting collective action among farmers, enhancing advisory services, and aligning with European Union standards to access high-value markets. By integrating small ruminant farming with agrotourism initiatives and adopting sustainable practices, Montenegro can strengthen its small ruminant sector while contributing to rural development.
