Five founding markets linked both ways, open online worldwide, growing to 101 markets by 2036.
T57 gives Saudi producers, manufacturers, traders and buyers one verified network for domestic wholesale and cross-border food trade.
The challenge
Saudi Arabia is T57's regional headquarters and its largest demand market.
It imports much of its food, and it is also a growing exporter: Saudi date exports reached SAR 1.938 billion in 2025, up 14.3% on the year before, to more than 125 countries (Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture). Yet many small producers and cooperatives still sell through intermediaries and struggle to reach business buyers, export markets and working capital. The key challenges T57 addresses include:
Reaching business buyers
Small producers find it hard to sell directly to supermarkets, hotels and institutions.
Secure imports
Importers need verified suppliers and alternative origins when supply is disrupted.
Working capital
Small businesses struggle to finance trade.
