Questions

Getting FMCG distribution in the Gulf

How do I get FMCG distribution in the GCC?
Dutch & Habro appoints one FMCG distributor per territory across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain, covering pest control, hygiene, air care, home care, garden care and shoe care on a single agreement. Open the territory page for the country you want, then apply online with your trade licence, warehousing and sales capacity. Applications are reviewed within two working days.
Which countries and territories are open?
All six GCC countries, down to 49 emirates, provinces, governorates and municipalities and 290 cities and industrial areas — each with its own page setting out the local demand profile and channel mix. Availability changes as territories are appointed, so apply with your preference and the regional team will confirm what is currently open.
How much investment does an FMCG distributorship need?
Entry investment by market: UAE AED 90,000 – AED 550,000, Saudi Arabia SAR 150,000 – SAR 940,000, Qatar QAR 75,000 – QAR 435,000, Kuwait KWD 6,000 – KWD 37,000, Oman OMR 7,000 – OMR 38,000 and Bahrain BHD 5,500 – BHD 30,000. The figure covers opening stock, warehousing, vehicles and sales staff; the trade licence and product registration fees sit outside it and are borne by the distributor.
Which FMCG categories are covered?
Seven, across six brands on one agreement: household pest control and insecticides (Goodbye), rodent control (Podo), hygiene and toilet care (Habro), air care and home fragrance (Lovaire), home care and surface cleaning, garden and plant care (Gardenz) and shoe and leather care (Caesars).
Do you appoint more than one distributor per territory?
Territory exclusivity is agreed case by case and written into the distribution agreement, along with the brands covered and the performance targets attached to it. In most markets we appoint a single partner per territory.
