HarvestChoice keeps catalogs of both raster and vector maps of sub-Saharan Africa (downloadable in either ASCII or ESRI Shapefile formats) along with their associated datasets. We also provide access to over 400 articles, survey and census reports on agriculture-related topics in support of investment targeting and prioritization decisions.
