WRSC Champions Structured Commodity Trade at the 2026 Industrialization Summit
The Warehouse Receipt System Council participated in the 2026 Industrialization Summit, held at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) under the theme “Driving Industrial Growth through Investment, Manufacturing, Trade, Innovation and Sustainable Financing.”
Through its exhibition booth, the Council showcased the Warehouse Receipt System, highlighting its role in strengthening agricultural supply chains, facilitating commodity-backed financing and supporting agro-industrial growth.
The Council engaged manufacturers, farmers, traders, investors, and financial institutions on how the WRS promotes secure commodity storage, quality assurance, access to finance, and reliable supplies of quality raw materials for manufacturing and agro-processing.
The CEO/Registrar, Ms. Lucy Komen, also participated in the Plenary Session, which explored strategies for strengthening manufacturing competitiveness through improved access to quality agricultural raw materials and financing.
WRSC’s participation reinforced the role of the WRS in linking agricultural producers to markets, finance, and industry, while advancing value addition, structured trade, and Kenya’s industrial transformation.
