International trade in agricultural goods is constantly growing, and to help finance this increase in trade flows, innovative collateral securitization mechanisms continue to evolve and develop.

Warehouse receipt financing and similar types of collateralized lending provide an alternative to traditional lending requirements of banks and other financiers and could provide opportunities to expand this lending in emerging economies for agricultural trade.
