    Food prices move every day. T57 shows reference prices from published sources.

    T57's price AI solves the missing prices for most traded food, by estimating current prices from scattered market data and verified trades, and explaining why they move.

    The problem without AI

    Why this is hard without AI

    Global benchmarks track the big picture: the FAO Food Price Index averaged 136.0 points in September 2026, up 5.8% on a year earlier (FAO, October 2026). But most food is sold through private deals, in hundreds of grades and pack sizes, with no public price. Data that does exist is patchy, uses different units and currencies, and arrives late. Without AI, building a reliable price for "medjool dates, large, 5 kg cartons, delivered to Kuala Lumpur" is close to impossible.

    Use case · Illustrative example

    Madinah date exporter prices a new market

    Before

    A Madinah date exporter priced its first offer to a Malaysian buyer from a two-month-old quote and undercut itself.

    With T57 AI

    T57 shows an estimated delivered price range for its grade and pack in Kuala Lumpur, with medium confidence and a note that prices are rising ahead of Ramadan. The exporter quotes within the range and wins the order at a better margin.

    FAQ

    Common questions

    How accurate are the AI estimates?

    Each price shows a confidence level. Accuracy is measured by comparing estimates with later verified trades, and results are published by product group.

    Can the index be manipulated by fake trades?

    Only trades between verified members count, outliers are detected and down-weighted, and no single trade can move the index alone.
