Business, people, documents, sanctions and site checks before anyone trades.
T57 exists to make trust the starting point of food trade. Every member is verified, every trade is recorded, and regulated services come only through licensed partners.
The problem
Food trade still runs on hope that the other side is who they say they are.
Buyers often cannot tell a producer from a reseller. Documents are forged, invoices are financed twice and contracts go unenforced across borders. Banks feel this too: weak data on smaller firms is one reason the Asian Development Bank reports that 41% of SME trade finance applications were rejected in 2025. The key challenges T57 addresses include:
Unknown counterparties
Businesses cannot easily confirm who they are trading with, or whether they own what they sell.
Unreliable records
Paper and scattered files make it hard to prove what was agreed and what happened.
Unclear accountability
When a trade goes wrong, there is often no clear process or record to resolve it.

- 01
Verify
Every buyer and seller passes KYC and KYB checks, sanctions screening and, where they claim to produce, physical verification.
- 02
Label
Each member is labeled as owner-producer, processor, trader or intermediary, so you always know who you deal with.
- 03
Record
Quotes, contracts, documents and milestones sit on one shared trade record, with an audit trail and tamper-evident anchoring.
- 04
Assure
Escrow, letters of credit and insurance come through licensed partners, and a structured dispute process applies if a party does not perform.

Use case · Illustrative example
A Kuala Lumpur importer checks a new Indian supplier in minutes
A Malaysian rice importer finds a new basmati supplier on T57. The supplier's Passport shows it is a verified owner-producer, its mill was visited by T57's India team, its export license is current, and it has a record of completed trades on the platform. The importer agrees terms, pays into escrow through a licensed partner and tracks every document on one record.
Why T57
We believe that trust in food trade should be earned, checked and visible, not assumed.
