Crop Storage Final Location: Cassava (Gabon - ~ 500 m)

The raster dataset represents top location score areas suitable for cassava storage, filtered by exclusive criteria: access to finance, distance to major roads, and access to IT (mobile broadband connection).

Access to finance and roads are defined using a linear distance threshold: • Banks - 10km buffer radius. • Major roads - 2km buffer radius. Access to IT is characterized by applying the mobile broadband coverage map.

The location score is achieved by processing sub-model outputs characterizing logistical factors for crop warehouse siting: Supply, demand, Infrastructure/accessibility. The location score from 0 to 100 is then obtained through a simple arithmetic weighted sum of the normalized/scaled grids.

This 500m resolution raster dataset is part of FAO’s Hand-in-Hand Initiative, Geographical Information Systems - Multicriteria Decision Analysis (GIS-MCDA) aimed at the identification of value chain infrastructure sites (optimal location).
