Finance, escrow and insurance come from licensed partners.

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 solves the uncertainty that keeps farmers from planning and buyers from securing supply, by putting forward agreements, quality standards and crop finance on one verified record.

The problem

Growers plant blind, buyers hope for supply

Small farms produce around a third of the world's food (FAO, 2021), yet most smallholders plant without knowing who will buy their crop or at what price. Buyers, from processors to supermarket chains, struggle to secure steady volumes of the right quality. Informal forward deals break down when prices move, and lenders rarely finance a crop that has no confirmed buyer. The key challenges T57 addresses include:

No guaranteed market

Farmers take all the price and sales risk, which discourages investment in quality and yield.

Unreliable supply

Processors and retailers cannot count on consistent volumes, grades or delivery dates.

No finance for the season

Without a confirmed buyer, growers cannot borrow for seeds, fertilizer and labor.

Use case · Illustrative example

Maharashtra onion cooperative secures a Gulf buyer for the season

A farmer producer organization in Nashik, Maharashtra, agrees a seasonal contract on T57 with a verified Dubai importer for export-grade onions, with a minimum price and delivery schedule. Using the contract as evidence, the cooperative obtains input finance from a licensed lender for its members. Growth checks are logged during the season. At harvest, an inspection partner confirms grade at the packhouse, and payment for each shipment is released through escrow when it is accepted.

Why T57

We believe that the people who grow food should be able to plan, invest and get paid fairly.

Fair for both sides

Terms, quality checks and payments are recorded on one record that farmers and buyers can both see.

FAQ

Common questions

Can individual smallholders use contract farming on T57?

Yes, usually through a cooperative or producer organization that holds the T57 membership and signs on behalf of its members.

What happens if prices change during the season?

It depends on the contract. Fixed-price, minimum-price and formula-based agreements each handle price movements differently, and the terms are agreed upfront.

Does T57 provide the inputs or finance?

No. Inputs come from buyers or partners, and finance comes from licensed lenders. T57 provides the contract, records and workflow.
