Farmers from across the country have been urged to embrace the Warehouse Receipt Systems (WRS) initiated by the Government, to re-engineer credit access and save them from post-harvest losses. 

In an interview with The Standard, WRS Council acting CEO, Samwel Ogola, said the system will go a long way in increasing lending to farmers for individual and national economic development.
