Board launches Warehouse Receipt system

National Cereals and produce Board will be holding a Warehouse receipting system mini launch in Narok in preparation for a major launch during harvest season in North Rift.

The long anticipated historic event will be held at the Board’s Narok silos grounds on 1st September 2010.

The event is expected to be attended by among others representatives from the Office of the President/Prime Minister, NCPB Board of Directors and other selected officers, representatives from the Ministry of Agriculture, State corporations ,treasury as well as farmers, millers, traders and other stakeholders.

Warehouse Receipting Process

1.         After the producer (depositor) has harvested his crop, s/he transports it to a certified warehouse.  The grain is checked to ensure that it meets the stipulated quality standards.

2.         When the grain passes the quality tests and the quantity is within the minimum set level (for example 10MT), it will be received by the Warehouse Operator (NCPB), who will then issue a Warehouse Receipt to the farmer(depositor).

3.         The depositor may present the Warehouse Receipt to a bank, which may offer him/her short term financing. The financing will be a proportion (say 80%) of the market value of the grain deposited in the warehouse.  This financing enables the farmer to meet his basic financial obligations such as domestic needs or preparing for the next planting season, as he waits to sell his grains in the market when the price is favourable.  The Warehouse Receipt remains in the custody of the bank for it forms the security for the financing.

4.         When the market price improves, the farmer sells his grain and the buyer is instructed to pay direct to the bank.  The bank then recovers its money from the proceeds and the Warehouse Operator also recovers any storage or handling charges.  The farmer is then given the balance.

Benefits/Advantages

           The advantages of WRS to farmers, millers, traders and other players include:

i.       Eliminating the need to use title deeds as Security for financing grain owners.

ii.      Enabling depositors get access to cash faster against the warehouse receipt.

iii.     Enabling depositors to sell their grain when market conditions and prices are most    favorable.

iv.     Eliminating the issue of delayed payments to farmers.

v.      Enabling processors (millers) to focus on their milling functions while they procure grain through WRS.

vi.     Improving quality and grading.

vii.     Reducing post harvest losses through professional storage.

viii.    Improving food security.

ix.      Enabling development and trading through a Commodity Exchange.
