The Council today held a strategic engagement with Africa Farmers Exchange (AFEX) to explore a partnership aimed at promoting the uptake of the Warehouse Receipt System (WRS), enhancing market assurance and price stability, and encouraging investment in warehouse infrastructure.
The engagement marks an important step towards expanding commodity exchange and marketplace participation, a critical foundation for facilitating structured and efficient commodity trade.
Key discussions focused on AFEX's potential registration as a marketplace, prioritization of liquidity to support seamless settlements, and the identification of a certifiable warehouse under the WRS.
Through strengthened collaboration and the development of robust market infrastructure, such initiatives will be instrumental in deepening market access, improving price discovery, and creating a more efficient and transparent trading environment for commodity sector stakeholders.
