Data from: A site suitability analysis for castor (Ricinus communis L.) production during Brazil's second harvest accounting for potential disease

Raster data providing site suitability results for the production of castor throughout Brazil. The pixel value range from 1 (currently not suitable) to 10 (highly suitable) for a suitability ranking in the given pixel location. The site suitability for castor was conducted using data associated with agronomic and disease characteristics. The various characteristics were subject to a weighted overlay analysis in conjunction with an analytical hierarchy process. The raster was the result of these analytics.
