Public warehousing, sometimes called terminal warehousing, is similar to field warehousing, except that the physical inventory is transferred to and stored in a warehouse operated by an independent warehousing company instead of in a segregated section of the borrower’s premises. The mechanics of the financing arrangement remain the same: no inventory is released to the borrower until it repays the corresponding part of the loan. Warehouse financing is very common in the food and lumber industries. Canned goods, in particular, account for almost 20 percent of all public warehouse loans; however, almost any nonperishable and easily marketable commodity may be used.
