After years of working for others, Mohammad set out to build a business around a simple passion: providing the right food products, at the right quality, to the customers and communities he serves. That principle still guides every decision we make.
Built on relationships and quality
Since 2021, New Daily Needs — originally founded as Daily Needs Produce — has grown from a Toronto-based supplier of fresh fruits and vegetables to local restaurants into a food importer, exporter and wholesale distributor serving communities across Canada.
Over the years, our team has built trusted relationships with growers and suppliers around the world to bring in carefully selected items that reflect both quality and cultural diversity. As demand has grown, so has our focus on international trade — importing and exporting the products our customers rely on.
