Economy

The district economy is almost entirely agricultural, consisting mostly of subsistence farming and livestock raising. Exports from the few large-scale commercial horticultural farms bring in most of the money in the district. In 2012, that economy in Arumeru District was threatened when, local landless residents forcibly occupied some of those commercial farms.
