==Economy==<br />
The town and its surroundings are very fertile and all species of flora of the West Coast grow here. However, the introduction of rubber cultivation in the hilly and semi-hilly areas of the district in the 1950s had marked a change in the utilization of the cultivable lands. Now rubber is raised as the main agricultural crop in almost all the villages and panchayat towns of Vilavancode taluk and Kalkulam taluks of the district. Arumana is in Vilavancode taluk and since it is very close to the foothills of the Western Ghats, all the available lands in the town have been used for raising rubber.<br />
