About Salmiya
Kuwait's busiest shopping district — malls, Salem Al Mubarak Street and dense apartment housing.
Salmiya lies within the governorate of Hawalli, Kuwait. 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 Salmiya?
Salmiya shares the climate of Kuwait: a long, hot summer with sealed, air-conditioned interiors that keep indoor insect pressure running all year rather than peaking for a season.
Because Salmiya is a commercial centre, the mix skews toward household insecticides, home care, air care and shoe care. Getting that weighting right at the opening order matters more here than the size of the order itself.
- Household insecticides
- Home care
- Air care
- Shoe care
Which pest control products sell in Salmiya?
Of the seven categories on the agreement, pest control moves the most units in Salmiya, concentrated in cockroach aerosols, gel baits and mosquito liquid vaporisers.
Goodbye covers the household insecticide lines and Podo the dedicated rodent-control systems; both sell into modern trade and traditional trade in Salmiya under the same distribution agreement as the hygiene, air care, home care, garden care and shoe care brands.
- Cockroach aerosols
- Gel baits
- Mosquito liquid vaporisers
- Coils and personal repellents
- Fly and lizard traps
Which channels carry volume in Salmiya?
In Salmiya the volume moves through modern trade, traditional trade, van sales and wholesale. The strongest applications are the ones that already service those channels for a non-competing range.

How stock reaches Salmiya
Stock reaches Salmiya through the import chain into Kuwait, 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.
