Market

Travel Time to Major Market Cities

The travel time maps indicate the degree of accessibility from a pixel to a populated place. The patterns shown here describe the geographic accessibility between places in Sub-Saharan Africa. We define accessibility as the time in hours required to travel from a given single point (1x1km pixel) to the nearest market center. Travel time to market centers is used as a proxy for market accessibility and shows the likely extent to which farming households are physically integrated with or isolated from markets.
