    TodayWith T57

    Wheat grain pours from a farmer's hands into a sack in a ripe wheat field.
    From the field to the buyer, the record follows the grain.

    T57's forecasting AI solves the late warning that leaves food buyers, sellers and governments reacting to shocks, by forecasting supply, demand and prices by product and origin.

    The problem without AI

    Why this is hard without AI

    Food supply shocks rarely come without warning, but the signals are scattered: weather, planting data, export policies, freight disruption and shifting demand. When the Strait of Hormuz closed in 2026, urea prices rose about 80% between February and April (World Bank, May 2026), with knock-on effects for the next harvests. Large traders and governments model these signals. Most food businesses learn about them only when prices jump or orders fail.

    AI output

    Forecasts, supply status and alerts

    A person decides

    You decide when to act
    Model typeTime-series and machine-learning forecasting models, with small regional models for each crop and market, combined into supply status signals.
    Data inputsHistorical prices and trade flows. Weather and climate data. Planting, yield and crop-condition data. Input costs such as fertilizer. Export and import policies. Freight and route disruption. Demand indicators such as seasonal and religious calendars. Anonymized T57 trade and RFQ activity.
    OutputForecasts of price, supply and demand by product, origin and market, with ranges. A supply status for each origin (surplus, stable, at risk or shortage), and alerts when the outlook changes.

    Use case · Illustrative example

    Abu Dhabi food distributor secures rice ahead of a shortage

    Before

    An Abu Dhabi distributor learned of an export restriction on its main rice origin only when its supplier canceled, and paid a premium for emergency stock.

    With T57 AI

    T57 moves that origin from stable to at risk three weeks earlier, on weak monsoon data and policy signals, and forecasts rising prices. The distributor sends RFQs to verified suppliers in two other origins and secures supply for the next quarter before prices rise.
