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?

In International City the volume moves through supermarkets and community groceries, pharmacy and e-commerce. We assess applications on demonstrated coverage of those channels rather than on turnover alone.

  • Supermarkets and community groceries
  • Pharmacy
  • E-commerce

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.

What we look for in an International City partner

  • A trade licence in your own name covering the goods to be distributed.
  • Warehousing sized to the range, with compliant storage for aerosol lines.
  • Demonstrated route coverage in supermarkets and community groceries or pharmacy.
  • Working capital for opening stock and one reorder ahead of receivables.
  • A named person accountable for the territory, not a shared desk.

What investment is needed for a distributorship in International City?
Entry investment across UAE runs from AED 90,000 – AED 550,000 depending on the territory and the channels covered. That figure is opening stock, warehousing, vehicles and sales staff — the trade licence and any regulatory fees sit outside it.

As a residential district, International City skews toward household insecticides, air care, home care and garden care. We set the opening assortment against that profile rather than shipping a standard national mix.
Which sales channels matter in International City?
Volume in International City moves through supermarkets and community groceries, pharmacy and e-commerce. We assess applications on demonstrated coverage of those channels rather than on declared turnover alone.
Which pest control products can an International City distributor carry?
The Goodbye household pest-control range — cockroach and ant aerosols, gels, baits and chalks, mosquito liquids, coils and repellents, fly and lizard traps — plus the Podo rodent-control systems. Both are covered by the same International City distribution agreement as the hygiene, air care, home care, garden care and shoe care brands.
Is the territory exclusive?
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. Apply and our team will confirm what is currently open in and around International City.
