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 sheep dairy production intensification potential, defined using crop production, livestock production systems, and cattle distribution. The score is achieved by processing sub-model outputs that characterize logistical factors: 1. Supply - Feed, livestock production systems, dairy distribution. 2. Demand - Human population density, large cities, urban areas. 3. Infrastructure - Transportation network (accessibility) It consists of an arithmetic weighted sum of normalized grids (0 to 100): (”Dairy Intensification” * 0.4) + ("Crop Production" * 0.3) + (“Major Cities Accessibility” * 0.2) + (“Population Density” * 0.1)

The 500 m raster dataset represents selected top location score areas filtered by exclusive criteria: access to finance, distance to major roads, access to IT, and distance to urban areas. The layer was produced under the scope of FAO’s Hand-in-Hand Initiative, Geographical Information Systems - Multicriteria Decision Analysis for value chain infrastructure location. The location score is achieved by processing sub-model outputs characterizing logistical factors dairy processing facilities siting: Supply, demand, Infrastructure/accessibility. The top score is selected/clipped using the exclusive criteria. Access to finance, distance to roads, and urban areas are defined using a linear distance threshold: • Banks - approx. 10km buffer radius. • Major roads - approx. 2km buffer radius. Access to IT is characterized by applying the mobile broadband coverage map.

The raster dataset consists of a 500m score grid for dairy processing industry (UHT and milk powder) 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 dairy production intensification potential defined using crop production, livestock production systems, and cattle distribution. The score is achieved by processing sub-model outputs that characterize logistical factors: 1. Supply - Feed, livestock production systems, cattle distribution. 2. Demand - Human population density, large cities, urban areas. 3. Infrastructure - Transportation network (accessibility) 4. Poverty. It consists of an arithmetic weighted sum of normalized grids (0 to 100): ("Crop Production" * 0.25) + ("Human Population Density" * 0.1) + (“Major Cities Accessibility” * 0.1) + (“ Accessibility to ports” * 0.1) + ( "Poverty" * 0.1) + (”Dairy Intensification” * 0.35).

The top score is selected/clipped using the exclusive criteria. Access to finance, distance to roads and urban areas are defined using a linear distance threshold: • Banks - approx. 20km (0.18 degree) buffer radius. • Major roads - approx. 2km (0.018 degree) buffer radius. • Peri urban areas are defined as being less than approx. 10 km (0.09 degree) from urban (WHERE PopDens>1500 AND area larger than 25 km²). Access to IT is characterized applying the mobile broadband coverage map.
