    Daily Veggies: Our Own Brand in the U.S.

    Our own U.S. importer and brand is born in New York: Daily Veggies. From here we control the Mexico–U.S. supply chain end to end and take our vegetables to market under one name.

    Our Own Fields in the Bajío

    Daily Veggies Mexico is founded in the Bajío, one of Mexico's most fertile valleys. Production becomes ours: our vegetables now grow in our own fields, on our own calendar and to our own standard.

    Produce First

    Our current flagship company, Produce First, is incorporated, centralizing the global commercialization and export of all our vegetables. It is backed by a fully equipped, certified packing house: a 12-pallet vacuum cooler, a 180-pallet cold storage room, a grading room with three sorting lines, and our own bagging machines.

    From Canada to Europe

    A pivotal stretch of expansion. After launching private-label and value-added programs for leading Canadian brands — reaching every major retailer in Canada — we exhibited at CPMA to strengthen that market and established a presence at Fruit Logistica in Berlin, opening doors to new clients in Europe.

    Why Produce First

    One company, from our soil to your dock.

    Most suppliers own one link of the chain and subcontract the rest. We own all four: our land, our crews, our cooling, our packing. Bulk or value-added, on a fixed price for the season or whatever structure fits your business, with the same volume every week.

    We grow it ourselves

    165 hectares of our own land in Guanajuato, plus 100 more with partner growers we have farmed alongside for years. The planting calendar is ours, so the volume in your program is committed in the ground before the season opens, not bought week to week on the open market.

    265hectares under our planting plan
    Programs

    We commit, then we deliver.

    Fixed-price seasonal programs with committed weekly volumes through the November–May peak. We plant against the program before the season opens.

    Price

    An agreed price stays agreed.

    When the open market moves against us mid-season, that is ours to absorb — not a renegotiation to bring to your desk.

    Accountability

    One counterpart, start to finish.

    If something arrives wrong, there is no broker to pass the blame to. We grew it, we packed it, we shipped it — we make it right.
