About Sohar Freezone

Bonded industrial land beside the deep-water port.

Sohar Freezone lies within the governorate of Al Batinah North, Oman. 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 Sohar Freezone?

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

Because Sohar Freezone is a free zone, the mix skews toward bulk and re-export packs, warehouse pest control and industrial hygiene. Getting that weighting right at the opening order matters more here than the size of the order itself.

  • Bulk and re-export packs
  • Warehouse pest control
  • Industrial hygiene

Which pest control products sell in Sohar Freezone?

Of the seven categories on the agreement, pest control moves the most units in Sohar Freezone, concentrated in rodent glue boards, bait stations and bulk crawling-insect aerosols.

  • Rodent glue boards
  • Bait stations
  • Bulk crawling-insect aerosols
  • Insecticidal powder and dust

Which channels carry volume in Sohar Freezone?
