FAO supports policy advice and income generation activities in Montenegro. Specifically, FAO through a project funded by Luxembourg helps develop livestock production and marketing through provision of technical support, information and training, so that farmers improve their household incomes within the poorer and more isolated communities of Northern Montenegro. An FAO funded project is geared towards supporting small-scale growers in organic agriculture in order to extend their income generating opportunities while aiding environmental preservation. A regional project that includes Montenegro is also implemented from 2010-2012 that addresses the improvement of aquaculture through targeting the seafood sector. Within a UN Joint Project agribusiness development is further facilitated.
Currently FAO is implementing these projects in Montenegro and Kosovo:
• GCP/RER/019/LUX “Development Assistance to Farmers in Remote Areas of Montenegro and Kosovo – cross-border project”.
