Reimagining Agri-Finance in Kenya: The Power of Digital Warehouse Receipts
In today’s agricultural economy, it’s no longer just about growing crops—it’s about trust, transparency, and timely access to finance. That’s why Digital Warehouse Receipts (WRs) are changing the game in Kenya.
📄 What are Warehouse Receipts?
A Warehouse Receipt is a digital certificate confirming the quantity, type, and quality of goods stored in licensed warehouses. Tracked and issued via platforms authorized by the Warehouse Receipt System Council (WRSC), they’re tamper-proof, secure, and fully traceable—unlike traditional paper receipts.
💡 Why Digital WRs Matter:
Unlock financing by using stored commodities as collateral.
Trade remotely, without physically moving produce.
Reduce fraud, lost documents, and payment delays.
Enable seamless transfer of ownership.
🚜 Who Benefits?
