               What is Warehouse Receipt System (WRS)?
      • Allow farmers to use their commodities as 
          collateral to access loans from financial 
          institutions (FIs) 
                                                               
                                                                                         www.eprc.or.ug       3

                                Why WRS in Uganda?
          •   Previous public efforts to introduce the WRS
                Public sector- Ministry of trade WRS project 2000-
                  2008, with focus on coffee and cotton
                WRS act of 2006, WRS regulations of 2007 and
                   Uganda WRS authority (UWRSA) in 2015 which is 
                       responsible for introduction of the E-WRS
          •   It is a priority policy point for national 
              development- National Development Plan II
               Limited storage capacity impedes effective post-
                  harvest management and structured commodity 
                  trade
               Hence, country is unable to address the challenge of 
                  price volatility of agricultural products                              www.eprc.or.ug       4
           Empowering You Through Knowledge
              Challenges in E-WRS uptake
       
        Farmer’s low knowledge and understanding of how the system 
       operates
       
        Trust issues among stakeholders 
       
        Banks reluctant to finance agricultural-related activities due to the 
       uncertainty of external factors of agriculture (USAID, 2007) (only 2 
       banks are currently registered in the government system)
       
        Banks need to feel secure that they will have priority to all 
       proceeds upon liquidation of the goods (USAID, 2007)
       
        Inability of farmers to meet volumes demanded by the warehouse 
       (UWRSA, 2015)
                                                                                         www.eprc.or.ug       5

                                          Objectives
            1.To document perceptions of actors in the 
                E-WRS 
                    
                      To score benefits and challenges of key 
                    private sector actors concerning the E-WRS
                    
                      To assess improvements in grades and 
                    standards for improved market 
                    performance
                                                                                         www.eprc.or.ug       6
