The Warehouse Receipt System (WRS) Council is a government body established to regulate and promote the warehouse receipt system in Kenya. This system enables farmers, traders, and other market players to store their agricultural produce in certified warehouses and receive a warehouse receipt as proof of ownership. These receipts can be used as collateral for loans or traded as negotiable instruments. The WRS seeks to stabilize agricultural markets, improve post-harvest management, and enhance farmers’ access to credit. Established to foster a transparent, efficient, and regulated warehouse receipt system, we provide farmers, traders, and stakeholders with innovative solutions to unlock the full potential of Kenya’s agricultural sector. To get more information about  the WRS Council, visit their website by Clicking Here
