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

The 1km raster dataset represents top location score areas filtered by exclusive criteria: access to finance, distance to major roads and access to IT. The layer is produced under the scope of FAO’s Hand-in-Hand Initiative, Geographical Information Systems - Multicriteria Decision Analysis for value chain infrastructure location.

The location score is achieved by processing sub-model outputs characterizing logistical factors for crop warehouse siting: Supply, demand, Infrastructure/accessibility.

Access to finance and roads are defined using a linear distance threshold:

• Banks - approx. 20 km (0.18 degree) buffer radius.

• Major roads - approx. 2 km (0.018 degree) buffer radius.

Access to IT is characterized applying the mobile broadband coverage map.
