Electronic Warehouse Receipt Financing Scheme (for rice and maize crop)

To address the food security challenges, massive investments in agricultural infrastructure, production trade, and processing is taking place across the world. Warehouse receipt financing can play a pivotal role to protect the farmer’s compulsion to sell their product immediately after harvest and collateralized commodity transactions stand themselves as security for the loan.

The commodities are stored in a licensed warehouse that issues a receipt proving that the commodities are physically placed in the warehouse. This receipt forms the basis of the financing.

The main objective of the scheme is to extend post-harvest financing to small farmers to fulfill their crop production needs through Electronic Warehouse Receipts (EWHR).
