CMA Warrants Inspection Services You Can Trust

You need to delegate control of your commodity to an independent expert who can protect your interests throughout all stages of production and transit. Alternatively, you may need your commodity to act as collateral security for a loan.

Alex Stewart International’s Collateral Management Agreement (CMA) services allow you to get on with your core business, knowing that your commodities are in the safest possible hands.

We already provide highly specialised CMA services in Malaysia and SE Asia, but we’re expanding into other countries, too. Our core CMA business services range from warehouse control, stock monitoring and full auditing of commodities (including pre-project credit ratings with financial institutions) to weighbridge control, storage and produce insurance. Our operations team is made up of fully qualified accountants, lawyers and agronomists who follow strict legal and financial procedures at all times.

Our CMA and warrants service includes

• Crop monitoring: Full technical consultation and advice for farmers and producers, including seed choice, planting, fertilisation, crop monitoring, harvest, quality control, classification, storage and logistics from warehouse to ship side. GAFTA and FOSFA-approved loading and discharge supervision and inspection for end buyers.
• Stock monitoring: CMA quantities are logged into a stock book. Release quantities are verified against the release note and stock book. Reports and updates are emailed to relevant parties.
• Warehouse security: Padlocks are installed on every warehouse door. At least one inspector will attend your goods 24 hours a day. Only authorised personnel are allowed inside.
• Goods release: Written instructions come from Alex Stewart International and written approval from the receiver/creditor through an official release order. The release is monitored to ensure safe passage of goods from CMA cargo to non-CMA cargo by bagging cargo and bulk delivery over weighbridge.
• At the load port: The creditor and depositor sign the CMA and an Alex Stewart International inspector is appointed to certify loading supervision and cargo quality/quantity.
• At discharge: Alex Stewart Agriculture will carry out an inspection to determine the Bill of Lading and quantity at the load port. Weighed goods are stored and closely guarded at the approved warehouse facility.
• CMA pledge: When discharge is completed, Alex Stewart Agriculture pledges the CMA quantity, based on actual weight figures, and issues a non-negotiable warehouse receipt, which an authorised signatory endorses for the receiver.
