Macuata () is one of Fiji's fourteen Provinces, and one of three based principally on the northern island of Vanua Levu, occupying the north-eastern 40 percent of the island. It has a land area of 2004 square kilometers.
Demographics The province has 114 villages spread over five districts (tikinas): Cikobia, Dogotuki, Labasa, Macuata, and Sasa; the district boundaries haven't changed since 1956. Its population of 65,978 at the 2017 census was the fourth largest of any Fijian province. As of 2007, Indo-Fijians constituted most of the population at 34,218 people, while native Fijians numbered 30,759.
