Abstract: The paper deals with the natural conditions and social factors in Rozaje of Montenegro, which influence the formation of specific characteristics of agricultural production. Heavily dissected mountain relief with large limestone terrain and steep slopes, plains, and the lack of fertile land, a considerable elevation, and sometimes quite harsh climatic conditions that determine a relatively short growing season, are the reasons that some people continuously engaged in crop production. Natural predisposition to allow other than forestry, animal husbandry takes the primary role. On the emergence and survival of agriculture was also influenced by the increasing scarcity of wheat and other crop products, difficulties in buying these products from Metohija and other parts, and the constant interdependence of agriculture and animal husbandry. Secondary importance, too, are growing, cultivation of medicinal plants and beekeeping. How existing firms that are engaged in agriculture as a main or a side activity, so far not been achieved notably more business results, greater growth in agricultural production should make fuller use of the development opportunities of the individual sectors through cooperation and through subsidies and other incentives. To this end it adopted plans and programs for revitalization of the village and work for their implementation, in order to stop further processes deagrarization and depopulation of villages, maintain the existing workforce capable and possibly allow the return of the workforce of the city.
