The warehouse receipt system is implemented by the COFTRA/BAPPEBTI aimed at supporting and helping the farmers of different export commodities in Indonesia to protect the farmers and empower them from the possible fall of commodity prices at the time of harvest time (excess supply). The WRS has been implemented to a number of (export) commodities such as Coffee, Rubber, and Cocoa etc. Recently, Pepper has also been included in the WRS scheme

The IPC congratulates the COFTRA/BAPPEBTI on the initiatives in implementing the WRS and mobile WRS system to the pepper players in Indonesia and wish that this initiative would help the Pepper industry to develop further
