About International City
High-density workforce and family housing — the strongest value-pack grocery demand in the emirate.
International City sits in the emirate of Dubai, UAE. We are appointing FMCG distribution partners in this territory for the full Dutch & Habro range, from household pest control and insecticides through to hygiene, air care and shoe care, under a single agreement.
What drives demand in International City?
Heat, humidity and permanently air-conditioned interiors shape what sells in International City, as they do across the UAE: insect pressure that never fully drops away rather than a season that comes and goes.
Because International City is a residential district, the mix skews toward household insecticides, air care, home care and garden care. A partner who plans stock around that mix — rather than around a flat national assortment — consistently turns inventory faster.
- Household insecticides
- Air care
- Home care
- Garden care
Which pest control products sell in International City?
Pest control is the largest of the seven categories a residential district distributor carries, and in International City the volume sits 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 supermarkets and community groceries and pharmacy in International City 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 International City?

How stock reaches International City
Stock reaches International City through the import chain into the UAE, and territory partners typically hold four to eight weeks of cover. We confirm reorder cycles, credit terms and launch support in the agreement rather than leaving them to be negotiated per shipment.
