Open access tool to combine your own cooperative data with Trase data

Access our open-source Python tool that allows users to integrate their own cooperative disclosure data with the official Trase Cocoa Cooperatives GeoJSON for Côte d'Ivoire.

Published:

The tool takes a standard CSV of cooperative disclosures for cooperatives in Côte d'Ivoire from a user, cleans and normalizes the text, and performs fuzzy matching against the Trase Cocoa Cooperatives GeoJSON. It updates existing cooperatives by appending the disclosing buyer, and geographically processes brand-new cooperatives by assigning them to the correct administrative departments before adding them to the output updated GeoJSON.

The tool is available on our public github repo accessible via - https://github.com/sei-international/trase-public/tree/main/update_trase_cooperatives_geojson
