    From five markets to 101

    Five founding markets linked both ways, open online worldwide, growing to 101 markets by 2036.

    T57 connects verified food producers, traders and buyers in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, India, Malaysia and Türkiye, on one trade record that works within each country and across their borders. These are the first five. T57 is open online to verified businesses in 195 countries and opens new markets phase by phase.

    The challenge

    The world spent an estimated $2.22 trillion on food imports in 2025 (FAO).

    Much of that trade flows between the regions T57 serves: Gulf economies that import most of their food, and producing nations in South Asia, Southeast Asia and Türkiye that want to sell more of it, directly. Yet each market has its own rules, documents, languages and ways of doing business, and trust across borders is hard to build. The key challenges T57 addresses include:

    Fragmented markets

    Each country has different rules, documents and platforms.

    Trust across borders

    Buyers and sellers in different countries cannot easily verify each other.

    Local needs

    Global platforms rarely fit local languages, crops, regulations and payment habits.

    How T57 works across markets

    1. 01

      Local verification

      Country teams verify members in each market, on the ground.

    2. 02

      Domestic wholesale

      Producers and manufacturers sell to supermarkets, hotels, restaurants, caterers and institutions in their own country.

    3. 03

      Cross-border corridors

      The same trade record adds export steps for trade between markets: contract, documents, finance, shipment, inspection and settlement.

    Trade both ways, between every market

    Every founding market is both a buyer and a seller on T57. A member in any one of them can buy from, or sell to, verified members in all the others, on the same trade record. For example:

    Saudi Arabia ↔ IndiaRice, spices, fresh produce and meat to the Kingdom; Saudi dates and processed food to India.
    Saudi Arabia ↔ MalaysiaHalal processed food and palm products to the Kingdom; Saudi dates to Malaysia and ASEAN.
    Saudi Arabia ↔ TürkiyeFruit, nuts, vegetables and pasta to the Kingdom; Saudi dates and dairy to Türkiye.
    UAE ↔ all marketsImports from India, Malaysia and Türkiye for the UAE and for re-export, and UAE re-exports onward.
    India ↔ Malaysia ↔ TürkiyeSpices, rice, palm products, pulses, nuts and processed food moving between producing markets.

    Regional programs

    OIC and IOFST57's founding team worked with the Islamic Organization for Food Security (IOFS), the OIC's food security institution, and T57 has a 10-year MoU with IOFS. IOFS works with OIC member states across Asia, the Middle East and Africa.ASEANFrom Malaysia, T57 opens halal food and palm corridors between Southeast Asia, the Gulf and India.
    AfricaAfrica spent more than $83 billion importing food in 2023 (UN Economic Commission for Africa). As T57 opens African markets in later phases, importers there can source from verified suppliers, and African producers can reach buyers in the Gulf and Asia. T57 is in discussions with the African Development Bank on a pilot in Africa.

    More markets will join the network as T57 grows.
