About Askar

A southern coastal village with industrial land.

Askar lies within Southern Governorate, Bahrain. Dutch & Habro appoints one FMCG partner per territory here, carrying the complete range — pest control, rodent control, hygiene, air care, home care, garden care and shoe care — on a single distribution agreement.

What drives demand in Askar?

Askar shares the climate of Bahrain: a long, hot summer with sealed, air-conditioned interiors that keep indoor insect pressure running all year rather than peaking for a season.

Because Askar is a coastal town, the mix skews toward mould and damp cleaning, household insecticides and air care. Getting that weighting right at the opening order matters more here than the size of the order itself.

  • Mould and damp cleaning
  • Household insecticides
  • Air care

Which pest control products sell in Askar?

Of the seven categories on the agreement, pest control moves the most units in Askar, concentrated in cockroach aerosols, gel baits and mosquito liquid vaporisers.

  • Cockroach aerosols
  • Gel baits
  • Mosquito liquid vaporisers
  • Coils and personal repellents
  • Fly and lizard traps

Which channels carry volume in Askar?

In Askar the volume moves through community groceries, modern trade and hospitality. The strongest applications are the ones that already service those channels for a non-competing range.

How stock reaches Askar

Stock reaches Askar through the import chain into Bahrain, and territory partners typically hold four to eight weeks of cover. Reorder cycles, credit terms and promotional support are set out in the distribution agreement before the first container is booked.

  • Demonstrated route coverage in community groceries or modern trade.
