Watch
Two short films
Turn a verified trade into finance offers from licensed partners, tracked to settlement.
Business, people, documents, sanctions and site checks before anyone trades.
Access finance-ready deals, with verified counterparties and controlled execution, from deal to settlement
Food and agri finance should not rely on disconnected paperwork, opaque counterparties and delayed decisions. T57 helps you identify, assess, structure and monitor opportunities across the food system with confidence.
The challenge
Slow diligence and weak visibility hold capital back
T57 eliminates slow due diligence and weak transaction visibility that constrain capital, and goes beyond listing opportunities to manage execution, disputes, documentation and follow-through.
Opaque counterparties, incomplete diligence
T57 completes much of the groundwork upfront, including KYB/KYC, financial checks, business validation and a review of the commercial opportunity.
Slow deployment in time-sensitive markets
Filtered opportunities arrive with underlying demand and key counterparties already mapped, shortening the path to funding readiness.
Weak control over fund use
Escrow-based controls, milestone-linked release and auditable trails support phased deployment rather than all-at-once exposure.
How T57 works for financiers and investors
From curated pipeline to monitored performance
- 01
Opportunity curation
Food and agri opportunities where demand is visible, including government procurement and large buyers.
- 02
Pre-investment diligence
Business validation, KYB/KYC, financial review and transaction context, done before you see the deal.
- 03
Structured financing
Working capital, supply chain, Shariah-compliant or asset-backed structures, with escrow and phased disbursement.
- 04
Ongoing monitoring
Transaction records, auditable trails, ratings and performance histories for a repeatable book.
Controlled execution
Capital moves only as the trade does
Each milestone is verified and written to a shared record before the next tranche is released. If something goes wrong at loading, later payments stop. And unlike bank-only blockchains, which became digital silos, T57 shows you every party to the trade: buyer, seller, insurer, forwarder, shipping line and inspector.
Use case
Escrowed Malaysian rice trade with staged exposure
The opportunity
A regional investment platform wants short-duration exposure to essential food imports in Southeast Asia. Through T57 it reviews a rice supply opportunity linked to a government-supported procurement program in Malaysia, with demand, counterparties and payment structures already assessed.
The structure
Instead of funding the full value at once, the investor commits a first tranche through escrow. Capital is released in stages against verified milestones: supplier confirmation, shipment progress and delivery documentation.
Three tranches, each released after its milestone is verified.
FAQ
Common questions
How does T57 handle disputes and reduce risks for financiers and investors?
T57 reduces risk through its curated club membership model, which ensures vetted, credible counterparties in a high-trust environment. Its virtual trade desk supports execution, manages disputes, oversees documentation, and ensures consistent transaction follow-through for greater investor confidence.
Why is food and agri finance an important opportunity for investors now?
Global food import demand remains enormous: FAO puts the global food import bill at $2.22 trillion in 2025, which underlines the scale and persistence of trade-linked financing needs in food markets.
Is trade finance generally considered a lower risk than other forms of credit exposure?
Yes. The ICC Trade Register highlights that trade, supply chain, and export finance products continue to exhibit low-risk profiles and resilient default performance across challenging market conditions.
Why do financiers need stronger diligence and monitoring tools in agri markets?
Food and agri transactions often involve fragmented supply chains, cross-border counterparties, and climate or logistics volatility, which makes visibility and verification especially valuable. The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) notes that small-scale producers remain underserved by finance, highlighting that large financing needs go unmet because risk gaps discourage capital.
