Rey, 1985). Moreover, we intend to highlight in the paper the challenges and priorities at national and European level in the mountain economy.

The results of the paper highlight the complete solution for a sustainable mountain rural development, through which farmers will be able to get fair prices for raw materials "mountain products", which would meet the real needs of mountain farmers, small and medium par excellence, to increase family income, based on renewable resources and increasing farm capitalization and investment capacity, all of which are based on strategic guidelines with practical applicability following the professional experiences of the authors of the paper.
