As a province separated from the rest of Luzon by the mighty Sierra Madre mountain range, Aurora's strategy for development is to capitalize on its largely untapped rich natural resources through the introduction of value-added industries. More than seventy percent of the land area is still forested, while the remaining land is mostly dedicated to agriculture. The main products are copra, banana, rootcrops, coffee, black pepper and citrus. Aside from prime wood species such as narra, dau and tanguile, the province's forests are a rich source of sabutan, nipa, buri, pandan, bamboo, rattan, cogon and vines. Aurora has a population of 142,000 provide labor to man the province's agriculture, fishery and forestry-based industries.

Access to and from the province is currently provided by two roads that run from Nueva Ecija to Aurora. There are regular commuter buses to Cabanatuan City from either Baler or Dingalan. There are current efforts to open a new road to facilitate the flow of goods and services. The province is also accessible by air through four airstrips. Six municipal and private ports link the towns of the coast with each other. Power is provided by the Napocor, while water is sourced from surface bodies of water as well as from wells. Twenty-nine telecommunications facilities connect the province with the outside world.

Aurora's development lies heavily on developing its resource-based industries and providing added value to its products. Investing in food processing, in activities like cassava, gabi and ube driers and flour grinding mills, coffee, peanut processing and fish storage facilities can provide excess agricultural and marine production added storage life and value. Forest-based industries, like furniture making, handicraft manufacture and building components making, are attractive ventures, especially since the province is still richly endowed with forests. Aurora is also looking at improving the marketing of its unique products such as the sabutan hats and other gifts and houseware items. Tourism is also an industry that continues to present good possibilities. Baler is considered one of the best surfing sites in the country and the rugged beauty of the province include forest clad mountains, pristine beaches, untouched coral reefs, caves, springs and waterfalls. Aurora needs additional investments in building accommodations for tourists, provide services and other support facilities needed by the industry.
