Crop Storage Location Score: Major Cereals (Nepal - ~ 1Km)

The raster dataset consists of a 1km score grid for major cereals storage location, produced under the scope of FAO’s Hand-in-Hand Initiative, Geographical Information Systems - Multicriteria Decision Analysis for value chain infrastructure location. Major cereals include barley, millet, wheat, maize, sorghum, and rice.


The location score is achieved by processing sub-model outputs that characterize logistical factors for selected crop warehouse location:

• Supply: Crop.

• 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” * 0.3) + (”Regional Cities Weighted Accessibility” *0.1 )
