The Warehouse Receipt System Council (WRSC) has granted farmer service company AFEX Fair Trade the licence to operate as a warehouse receipt operator marking the first time the certification has been issued to a private sector firm.
Speaking at a visit to the firms’ Soy Mateeny depot in Uasin Gishu, Trade Principal Secretary Alfred K’ombudo hailed the development saying the government has plans of increasing certified warehouses in the country for safe storage of farmers’ produce.
