T57 gives Indian farmer producer organizations, cooperatives, processors and exporters one verified network to sell to domestic business buyers and to importers in the Gulf, Southeast Asia and beyond.
The challenge
The challenge
India is one of the world's largest food producers, and its agricultural exports reached $52.55 billion in FY2025–26 (Ministry of Commerce and Industry). Yet most of its farms are small, and many producers still sell through layers of intermediaries, with little view of the final price, limited access to export buyers and little working capital. The key challenges T57 addresses include:
Distance from buyers
Farmers and FPOs rarely deal directly with business buyers or importers.
Proof of quality and origin
Overseas buyers need verified suppliers and documents they can trust.
Working capital
Small exporters wait months to be paid.

Use case · Illustrative example
A Nashik farmer producer organization exports grapes to the Gulf
An FPO of grape growers in Nashik, Maharashtra, joins T57 and is verified as an owner-producer. It sells part of its harvest to a supermarket chain in Mumbai on wholesale terms, and exports the rest to a verified importer in Riyadh, with an inspection partner's report and the phytosanitary certificate on the trade record. A partner bank finances the export invoice, and payment is released from escrow on delivery.
