**Impact Analysis**
**Stakeholder: Registered Warehouse Operators**
**Impact**
Operators are now legally permitted to store the nine newly listed commodities, expanding their service offerings to include specific fertilizers and agricultural products like chia seeds and mango pulp.
**Action Required**
Warehouses must ensure that these specific commodities meet the prescribed qualitative standards before acceptance and verify that any required laboratory analysis is conducted by authorized institutions.
**Stakeholder: Commodity Producers and Traders**
**Impact**
Producers and traders of the listed items (such as fertilizers and specialized agricultural goods) gain access to the formal, regulated warehousing ecosystem, which may facilitate better financing and storage options.
**Action Required**
They must ensure their products align with AGMARK, BIS, or FSSAI standards to qualify for storage in WDRA-registered warehouses.
**Stakeholder: Accredited Testing Laboratories**
**Impact**
There will be an increased demand for testing and calibration services for the newly included commodities, particularly for chemical analysis of non-agricultural items.
**Action Required**
Laboratories must maintain their NABL accreditation or government recognition to remain authorized providers for the chemical and allied analysis required by the WDRA.
