Crop Storage Final Location: Millet (Senegal - ~ 500 m)

The raster dataset represents top location score areas suitable for rice 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 - 20km 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 that characterize production, logistical and socio-economic factors for warehouse/storage locations: • Supply: Production. • Demand: Human population density, Major cities population (national and bordering countries). • Infrastructure/accessibility: main transportation infrastructure. • Poverty. It consists of an arithmetic weighted sum of normalized grids (0 to 100). 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:** 2022-07-04 **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.

The raster dataset represents top location score areas suitable for millet 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 - approx. 10km buffer radius. • Major roads - approx. 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.
