Crop Storage Location Score: Maize (Cameroon - ~ 500m)

The raster dataset consists of a 500m score grid for rice storage location achieved by processing sub-model outputs that characterize logistical factors for selected crop warehouse location: • Supply: Rice. • Demand: Human population density, Major cities population (national and bordering countries). • Infrastructure/accessibility: main transportation infrastructure. It consists of an arithmetic weighted sum of normalized grids (0 to 100): ("Crop Production" * 0.4) + ("Human Population Density" * 0.2) + ("Major Cities Accessibility" * 0.1) + (“Asset Wealth” * 0.1) + (”Regional Cities Accessibility” * 0.1)+("Major Ports Accessibility" * 0.1). 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). **Data publication:** 2023-05-22 **Contact points:** Metadata Contact: [FAO-Data](mailto:fao-data@fao.org) Resource Contact: [Dariia Nesterenko](mailto:dariia.nesterenko@fao.org) **Data lineage:** lineage statement Major data sources, FAO GIS platform Hand-in-Hand and OpenStreetMap (open data) including the following datasets 1.
