Dairy Processing Location Score: Cattle (Mozambique - ~ 500 m)

The raster dataset consists of a 500 m score grid for dairy processing industry facilities siting, produced under the scope of FAO’s Hand-in-Hand Initiative, Geographical Information Systems - Multicriteria Decision Analysis for value chain infrastructure location.

The analysis is based on cattle production potential using proximity to cities and cattle intensification.

The score is achieved by processing sub-model outputs that characterize location factors:

1. Supply - Livestock distribution.

2. Demand/Infrastructure - Transportation network (accessibility)

It consists of an arithmetic weighted sum of normalized grids (0 to 100):

(”Cattle Intensification” * 0.4) + (“Major Cities Accessibility” * 0.2) + (”Total Crop Production” *0.3)+ (“Population Density” * 0.1)
