One of the most impactful modules in the CPCT programme is Module 103: Warehouse Receipt System and Financing. This module equips participants with practical knowledge of how warehouse receipts function as tradable instruments in commodity markets.

Key topics include:

  • Definitions and basic elements of warehouse receipt systems
  • Industry-based grades and standard setting
  • How warehouse receipt financing unlocks credit for farmers and aggregators
  • The role of the GCX in ensuring compliance and quality assurance

Understanding WRS is critical for anyone looking to work in agricultural finance, commodity trading, or supply chain management in West Africa.
