Rural areas in Lithuania face several economic problems including limited economic diversification and access to services, underinvestment in agriculture and non-farm employment, high costs of infrastructure maintenance, depopulation and aging, and lack of adequate infrastructure and lending institutions. These problems stem from a reliance on only a few products or exports, lack of internet access and financial services, insufficient investment in rural development, aging populations moving to cities, and inadequate road networks.
