Economy
The district of Dolny Kubin is well known for its metallurgical,
metal, engineering, electrotechnical and wood industries. The building
trade is also important in Dolny Kubin.
Agriculture forms only a small part of the economy of the region.
It concentrates mainly on cattle, pig and sheep breeding, as well
as the cultivation of potatoes, fodder, forage and cereals.
The change of ownership, a new economic structure and an orientation
towards new markets has caused a decline in production in recent
years, which has played its part in the high unemployment rate in
the region.
In the last few years, Dolny Kubin has also recorded a slight development
in the area of tourism.
