Intensive open fish farming systems final location: Nile Tilapia (Gabon - ~1km)

Vector dataset representing top score, optimal/recommended locations, for Nile tilapia cage farming systems in the Gabonese Republic. Produced under the scope of FAO’s Hand-in-Hand Initiative, Geographical Information Systems - Multi-criteria Evaluation suitability assessment. Intensive systems are characterized by high fish densities and the use of artificial feed. Recommended locations require the presence of permanent waters with a surface area larger than 5 acres. The score is determined by processing outputs from sub-models that describe biophysical, infrastructure, and demand factors: Criteria considered: a. Market accessibility - population and asset wealth index in urban areas. b. Crop input - availability of agricultural by-products. c. Livestock input - based on the weighted animal density aggregation. The score is calculated as a simple arithmetic weighted sum of normalized or scaled grids, theoretically ranging from 0 to 100: (“Accessibility MajorUrbanAreas” X 0.50) + (“CropsInput” X 0.25) + (“LivestockInput” X 0.25) **Data creation:** 2025-04-15 **Data publication:** 2025-06-13 **Contact points:** Metadata Contact: [FAO-Data](mailto:fao-data@fao.org) Resource Contact: [Nelson Ribeiro](mailto:Nelson.RosasRibeiroFilho@fao.org) **Data lineage:** lineage statement Data sources, FAO Hand-in-Hand Geospatial Platform and OpenStreetMap (open data) including the following datasets a.

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). **Data publication:** 2022-04-28 **Contact points:** Resource 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.
