Everything we produce in agriculture, industry or  tourism is offered in the healthy natural environment of our community, with traditions and customs.

Agriculture is he important activity in our community. The main crops are: wheat and rye culture, corn and potato  cultivation, fruit growing, vegetable growing. The climatic conditions specific to this area have  favored the development of agriculture, in which an important role belongs to animal husbandry.                                                                                                          Over the years, small orchards with fruit trees have been created. The commune’s economy is predominantly  agriculture, with a good representation of the livestock  sector, supported by the high share of natural pastures.

In recent years, the production units of the secondary sector, represented only by the workshops of small craftsmen, are completed with a toy assembly unit. Forestry is one of the important sources of income of the commune.
