FRUIT AND VEGETABLES Chapter 11: Agriculture and rural development

M O N T E N E G R O Negotiating Team for the Accession of Montenegro to the European Union All fruits, except citrus and oranges, are extensively grown in gardens or on a small-scale without the application of agro- technological measures (tillage, fertilizing, cutting, pest and frost protection, irrigation), so the fruitfulness is low and alternative (every second or third year). This is the main reason why, along with weather conditions, fruit production varies. In the northern part of Montenegro, plum is the dominant fruit species and is mainly used for the production of brandy (over 95%), while the rest of it is processed for jam, dried or consummated fresh. FRUIT AND VEGETABLES Chapter 11: Agriculture and rural development

M O N T E N E G R O Negotiating Team for the Accession of Montenegro to the European Union The production of vegetables is characterized by the lack of intensive arable land production and inadequate sowing structure. The fact that vegetable production in Montenegro is regarded as a supplementary activity results in low quantities of products, designated for local market purposes only. Vegetable production in protected structures is also insufficiently developed (carried out at only 60 ha), although in the last few years the development of production in protected structures has been intensified. FRUIT AND VEGETABLES Chapter 11: Agriculture and rural development

M O N T E N E G R O Negotiating Team for the Accession of Montenegro to the European Union Standards applied to fresh fruit and vegetables at all marketing stages: Rulebook on the Quality of Fruit, Vegetables and Mushrooms, OG SFRY 29/79 and 53/87 is applied in Montenegro, and regards fresh fruit and vegetables.
