Anyone knows how to develop this chest part?
Ok, the area in red is where my chest wont develop well. My chest routine always include incline bench, dips, flat bench,DB fly & cable cross. It bugs me that this red area lags behind, so that the cleavage looks like it doesnt go all the way up to the collar bone. How do i fix this? any apecific exercise that u recommend? thanks for the help.

All you can do is work upper chest and fill it out a bit, but where your muscles insert is just a matter of genetics. Just like some can't get the look of full calf development because of insertion points, some will never get the look of a full upper chest.

I guess i'm one of the unlucky ones, genetically.
Do you think i should just concentrate just on incline and cross over?

if the upper shelf is lacking, focus on upper movements, (Incline)
Give it 6-8weeks
Eat accordingly. Train Accordingly.
If that doesn't do it, mark it to genetcis

Is a lower incline or a higher incline better for working that area?

I think you want it just at 45, (lower)
Too high an incline and you risk involving more of the shoulder and turning it into a delt exercise.
I THINK.

What relly helped me out in that area was standing cable exercises where you cross your arms/hands at the end of your ROM and squeeze those titties.

Standing Low-High cable crossovers (or non-crossovers) are your best bet to work specifically to fill this area. Heavy presses will help with overall mass, but these will really define that area.
Also, throw a bench between a crossover and do incline cable flies. Hold at the top if you like.

Cable flys with the motion beginning low and finishing up high:

It doesn't seem to be a very popular, or common, variation on the cable fly, but it works for me. Sometimes I superset it with a press movement.
