Wholesale Middle Eastern & Mediterranean Produce, Shipped Canada-Wide
Most produce wholesalers are built around mainstream retail volume, and the specialty Middle Eastern and Mediterranean lines get carried inconsistently or not at all. Shaly Foods Inc. is built around that gap: direct supplier relationships in Egypt, Turkey and the United States, shipped wholesale across Canada from a Vancouver base.
Why grocers stock through us
Our sourcing
Bought direct from growers and shippers in Egypt, Turkey and the United States, with no broker sitting between you and the packhouse.
Our range
Mangoes, sour cherries, cactus pear and specialty vegetables, alongside Persian grocery lines like Shamshiri tea and Shirin Asal biscuits.
Our service
We carry what mainstream wholesalers skip because they don't know the demand exists. If you're stocking for Middle Eastern or Mediterranean shoppers, that's exactly who we built this for.
$300–$500 minimum
Depending on your shipping area. Mixed pallets across the range count toward it, so you're not overbuying one line to hit it.
Do you have a page for one community specifically?
Yes. Shaly Foods groups Arab, Persian, Turkish and Afghan grocers under this Middle Eastern and Mediterranean range. Each community also has its own page with the exact varieties and seasonal timing for that shelf: Arab grocers, Persian grocers, Turkish grocers and Afghan grocers.
What does the range actually look like on a shelf?
Eight Egyptian mango varieties, Owais and Zebdya and Taimour among them, not one generic mango. Barhi dates, Egyptian figs and Brown Turkey figs. Okra, black and white eggplant, grey squash for kousa, green and red hot peppers, bell peppers, fava beans and Mexican cactus pear. Fresh mint, dill, parsley and coriander by the bunch. Alongside that, Shamshiri tea, Mahmood and Rizq basmati and the Shirin Asal range.
Is there a minimum order?
Yes: $300 to $500, depending on your shipping area. Shaly Foods sells by the case and the pallet, mixed across the range on one account, so it's not a fixed single-SKU minimum.
Where does Shaly Foods ship?
Metro Vancouver on Shaly Foods' own trucks; BC Interior and Vancouver Island on scheduled routes; Alberta and the Prairies on refrigerated LTL and full pallets; Ontario and east for standing volume accounts.
How do I get current pricing?
Pricing isn't published, since the line sheet changes weekly with the season and shipping schedule. Request the current price list through the contact form and Shaly Foods will send what's actually landing, with pricing, usually the same business day.
