facilities

Facility and membership layers for Brazilian soft-commodity supply chains: one unified layer plus the six component layers it is built from. All geometry is WGS84 (EPSG:4326).

Part of Soft Commodity Infrastructure (Brazil).

The files

83,811 rows across the seven files, describing 40,669 distinct entities. BR_facilities is a union of the other six plus 3,103 modelled catchment polygons, so the counts overlap. Sizes and SHA-256 checksums for every file are in collection.json.

Quick start

DuckDB reads these files over HTTPS with no download and no credentials.

geometry arrives already typed as GEOMETRY('OGC:CRS84'). Do not wrap it in ST_GeomFromWKB — that raises a binder error. The traps that produce quietly wrong answers rather than errors are listed in AGENTS.md.

Trust labels

basis: observed 37,566 rows, modelled 3,103 rows (the gravity catchments only).

geom_method: registered 18,796, geocoded 12,007, municipality 5,257, derived 3,103, municipality_centroid 1,506.

Schema

Column lists differ per file and are declared per asset in collection.json under table:columns. The unified layer carries eight columns:

Coverage

Bounding box, measured over the geometries rather than copied: [-73.9904, -33.7508, -29.2990, 5.2718].

Temporal extent 2017-01-01 to 2026-07-23. The start is the vintage of the oldest source, the IBGE Censo Agropecuário 2017. The end is when this snapshot was compiled. Neither is a per-row date; the files carry no date column.

Known issues

• Geocoded and municipality-centroid points are approximate. A geocode can land on the wrong lot; a centroid sits at the middle of the town.
• Cooperative membership is a per-município count, not a named cooperative. 313 of the 5,570 municipalities carry no membership row.
• One cod_ibge in BR_intake_points matches no municipality in BR_muni.
• Three municipality polygons fail an OGC validity test. They are published unrepaired, as received from IBGE.
• Rice, cotton, and coffee are not covered. No authoritative open geolocated source exists for them.
• CONAB's registry drifts daily. Exact source snapshot dates are recorded in github.com/wri/rural-land.
