Integrated in the district of Portalegre, Alentejo region, the landscape of Monforte is marked by the mountains of Amendoeira, Sete and Vaimonte. Activities linked to the primary sector stand out throughout the municipality, marked by agriculture, through the cultivation of cereals, and livestock farming. Works in cork, wood, stone, horn and lakeshore bulrush stand out in the region's handicrafts, designed by artisans from the municipality. The manufacture of leather clothing and the region's traditional cheese are carried out by small companies.
