Crop Storage Final Location: Aggregated Production (Ghana - ~1km) V2

Crop Storage Final Location: Aggregated Production (Kenya - ~1km) consists of a 0.01 decimal degree grid produced under the scope of the Covid-19 sub-Saharan African Corridor project pilot case, Geographical Information Systems - Multicriteria Decision Analysis (GIS-MCDA), for the identification and definition of recommended mobile storage locations (movable warehouses). Top10% aggregated production score grids are computed and filtered by exclusive criteria: - Access to finance - Banks - 10km (0.09 degree) buffer radius; - Distance from major roads - 2km (0.18 degree) buffer radius; - Access to IT - mobile broadband coverage. **Data publication:** 2020-08-03 **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 used, FAO GIS platform Hand-in-Hand, OpenStreetMap (open data), Collins Bartholomew's Mobile Coverage Explorer, including the following datasets 1.

Crop Storage Location Score: Aggregated Production consists of a raster grid covering the country with 0.01 decimal degrees resolution, produced under the scope of the sub-Saharan Covid-19 African Corridor project pilot case, Geographical Information Systems - Multicriteria Decision Analysis (GIS-MCDA) for the identification and definition of mobile storage recommended locations (movable warehouses). The modeling variables characterize supply, demand and accessibility, main logistical factors for warehousing facilities location. These variables are, major crops (supply), human population density (demand) and main transportation network infrastructure (accessibility). Crops included in the production aggregate are the coutry's major crops (FAOStat data):Cassava, Yams, Plantains and cooking Bananas, Maize (corn), Taro, Cocoa beans, Rice, Groundnuts, Oil palm fruit. The location score results of a simple arithmetic weighted sum calculation (cell statistics) of normalized grids, generating a location score varying from 0 to 100. The assumed weight for each of the criteria is as follows: ("Crop Production" * 0.4) + ("Human Population Density" * 0.2) + ("Port Accessibility" * 0.2) + ("Cities Accessibility" * 0.1) + ("Regional Cities Accessibility" * 0.1) **Data publication:** 2020-08-03 **Contact points:** Metadata Contact: [FAO-Data](mailto:fao-data@fao.org) Resource Contact: [Nelson Ribeiro](mailto:Nelson.RosasRibeiroFilho@fao.org) **Data lineage:** lineage statement Two major sources were used, FAO GIS platform Hand-in-Hand and OpenStreetMap (open data) including the following datasets 1.

Crop Storage Final Location: Aggregated Production (Kenya - ~1km) consists of a 0.01 decimal degree grid produced under the scope of the Covid-19 sub-Saharan African Corridor project pilot case, using a Geographical Information Systems - Multicriteria Decision Analysis (GIS-MCDA) methodology for the identification and definition of mobile storage locations (movable warehouses). The Top Score Locations were computed using the Location Score raster and adding as criteria, access to finance (distance to bank agency) and linear distance from major roads. This output step filters the location score grid (aggregated production) into a top location score raster. Applying the following functions: • Buffering: o Banks - 10km (0.09 degree) buffer radius; o Major roads - 2km (0.18 degree) buffer radius; • Intersection - extracts the overlapping portions of Banks_Buffer and Roads_Buffer. • Dissolve - Takes the intersection vector layer and combines the features into a new feature, a single polygon; • Clip Raster by Mask Layer - Extracts the raster-production aggregate location score using the polygon obtained by the dissolved intersection of the banks and roads buffers; • The raster pixel cell in the final areas are classified into the final location map. **Data publication:** 2020-07-13 **Contact points:** Metadata Contact: [FAO-Data](mailto:fao-data@fao.org) Resource Contact: [Nelson Ribeiro](mailto:Nelson.RosasRibeiroFilho@fao.org) **Data lineage:** lineage statement lineage statement Two major sources were used, FAO GIS platform Hand-in-Hand and OpenStreetMap (open data) including the following datasets 1.

Ghana Crop Storage Location Score: Cassava (Ghana - ~1km) consists of a raster grid covering the country with 0.01 decimal degrees resolution, produced under the scope of the sub-Saharan Covid-19 African Corridor project pilot case, Geographical Information Systems - Multicriteria Decision Analysis (GIS-MCDA) for the identification and definition of mobile storage (movable warehouses) recommended locations. The modelling variables characterize supply, demand and accessibility, main logistical factors for warehousing facilities location. The location score for cassava variables: cassava (supply), human population density (demand) and main transportation network infrastructure (accessibility). Considered root crops were selected using FAOStat data: Cassava is the country top production in weight and a major staple. The location score (0 to 100) results from an arithmetic weighted sum calculation of normalized grids (cell statistics). The assumed weight for each of the criteria is as follows: ("Cassava Production" * 0.4) + ("Human Population Density" * 0.2) + ("Port Accessibility" * 0.2) + ("Cities Accessibility" * 0.1) + ("Regional Cities Accessibility" * 0.1) **Data publication:** 2020-08-05 **Contact points:** Metadata Contact: [FAO-Data](mailto:fao-data@fao.org) Resource Contact: [Nelson Ribeiro](mailto:Nelson.RosasRibeiroFilho@fao.org) **Data lineage:** lineage statement Two major sources were used, FAO GIS platform Hand-in-Hand and OpenStreetMap (open data) including the following datasets 1.
