1836 MT Rubber and Pepper has been financed through PNB and the
value is Rs. 14.60 crores.
Commenting on the buoyancy, Kailash Gupta, Managing Director, NMCE,
said,” The encouraging response from the farmers, growers and traders
to the warehouse receipt
based financing scheme, the first of its kind in India is quite
heartwarming. We hope to aggressively promote the scheme in the
coming months and foresee volumes further growing in the immediate
future.”
For April 2006 Series, rubber recorded physical delivery of 1300
MT as against trade volumes of 71874 MT. With this a total quantity
of 20791 MT Rubber has been physically delivered at NMCE since initiation
of futures trading. Through the innovative scheme, 477 MT of Rubber
was delivered in April 2006 series. Likewise, 59 MT Pepper was delivered
