Luro, officially Luro Administrative Post (Portuguese: Posto Administrativo de Luro, Tetum: Postu administrativu Luru), is an administrative post (and was formerly a subdistrict) in Lautém municipality, Timor-Leste;[1][2] Luro is also the name of two of its towns (Upper and Lower Luro).
The main river of the administrative post is the Adafuro, running between Wairoque and Cotamutu and through Afabubu. Principal crops grown in the subdistrict include corn, rice, coconuts, cassava and other vegetables.
In June 2001 there were severe floods in East Timor, which affected the Luro area.[3] At the end of August 2011, four people died in a clash between two martial arts groups in Baricafa. As a result, Prime Minister Xanana Gusmão ordered the closure of the martial arts clubs.[4]
