Navosa

Navosa is a province located in the Western Division of Fiji. It is situated on the western side of Viti Levu, Fiji's largest island. The province is known for its rugged interior, characterized by mountains, valleys, and dense forests. Navosa is one of Fiji's less densely populated provinces, with a significant portion of its population residing in rural villages.

The traditional economy of Navosa is largely based on subsistence agriculture, with yams, taro, and cassava being primary crops. Livestock farming, particularly cattle and goats, is also common. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in developing ecotourism in the province, capitalizing on its natural beauty and traditional cultural heritage. The province is home to several traditional Fijian communities, and cultural practices and customs remain important aspects of daily life.

Navosa is divided into various districts, each governed by a traditional chief. The provincial administration plays a role in overseeing development projects and maintaining law and order. Access to some parts of Navosa can be challenging due to the terrain, with roads often unpaved. The provincial capital and administrative center is located in a central area within the province. Navosa is recognized for its strong sense of community and its adherence to traditional Fijian ways of life.
