MWANZA, Feb. 27 -- FARMERS cultivating green grams and lentils in Kwimba District, Mwanza Region, have been urged to adopt the Warehouse Receipt System (WRS) to strengthen postharvest management, improve market access and secure better prices for their produce.

The call was made by the Minister for Industry and Trade, Ms Judith Kapinga, during a recent visit to the Ndilima crop storage warehouse in Kwimba District. Ms Kapinga said the WRS has delivered significant gains for farmers and traders, with green gram prices rising from 1,200/- per kilogramme in 2025 to 1,600/- currently.

She emphasised that the government will continue to strengthen and safeguard the system to ensure farmers benefit from fair prices and reliable markets.
