Defination of a ware house receipt
• A ware house receipt is a document of title that shows you the quality and quantity of a commodity that is stored in a licensed ware house. In Uganda the ware house receipt an electronic document.
• In Uganda the licensed ware houses are regulated by the Uganda Commodity Exchange.

How does one get to use the WRS?
• Register your organisation with the UCE.• UCE will then give you a user name and
password to use the system.• You must be located within the hinterland of
UCE licensed warehouses. Currently we have a ware house in Jinja, Masindi ,Mbarara, Tororo, Gulu and Kasese.

Benefits of WRS to Farming Communities
• Proper storage facilities that are professionally run and secure.• WRS exposes you to markets like WFP, larger grain traders and the
regional markets.• WRS exposes you to buyers that you would have never met both
domestically and regionally• Access to finance through the banks. Allows you to get 60% of the
value of your commodity in order to defer its sale.• Allows you to sell when the price is right rather than right after
harvest.• Access to finance has enabled farmers open up more land and
improve on their post harvest handling.• In summary it allows you better control over the sale of your
agricultural commodities.

How are ware house receipts sold
• Direct sales to the WFP• On the commodity exchange trading floor using
a set of registered brokers who represent buyers and sellers of agricultural commodities.
• BVO procurement model which in design stages.• Direct sale to a buyer of your choice.
This now makes you a price maker instead of a price taker.

Challenges and Lessons Learnt
•Access to credit is central to the success of commodity warehouse system
•There is scarcity of suitable facilities for medium to large scale commodity warehousing
•Limited stock off-takes initially constrained the operationalisation of the WRS
•Limited awareness among potential users.
•Limited formal farmer associations for collective marketing
•Lack of adequate funding to promote the system.
