Dutch & Habro Distributorship
in Assam

Land of tea & Bihu

Dutch & Habro India appoints district distributors across all 35 Assam districts for its Goodbye, Habro, Gardenz, Lovaire, Caesars and Podo brands. Entry investment ranges from ₹5 lakh to ₹25 lakh by district, with Guwahati serving as the North-East distribution gateway. A Form VI insecticide licence from the Assam Department of Agriculture is required for the Goodbye and Podo pest-control ranges.

What pests drive demand in Assam, and when?

Assam records some of India's highest rainfall, and the Brahmaputra valley's near-permanent humidity makes pest control a year-round rather than seasonal business. Mosquito breeding almost never stops; the extended monsoon (April–October) and repeated valley flooding keep Guwahati, Dibrugarh, Silchar and the tea-belt districts under heavy mosquito and cockroach pressure, with vector-borne disease a standing public-health concern.

  • Apr–Oct: extended monsoon and flooding → relentless mosquito and cockroach demand across the valley → Goodbye repellent liquids, coils, gels and swatter bats
  • Tea-belt (Dibrugarh, Jorhat, Tinsukia): damp-plantation mosquito and ant pressure through most of the year → Goodbye liquids and Gardenz plant care
  • Post-flood: displaced rodents into Guwahati godowns and riverine towns → Podo glue boards and snap traps

The Assam market at a glance

Assam has around 3.5 crore people across 35 districts and is the commercial heart of the North-East. Guwahati is the region's largest city and trade centre, supported by Dibrugarh, Jorhat, Silchar, Tinsukia and Nagaon. The Brahmaputra valley's tea estates and dense riverine settlements give the state a high, steady demand base.

What does the Assam retail landscape look like?

Guwahati is the distribution hub for the entire North-East, and stock for the region's markets typically routes through it. Assam is general-trade and semi-wholesale led, with Guwahati's Fancy Bazaar and wholesale markets feeding the valley districts and onward to the neighbouring NE states. Modern trade is growing in Guwahati; the tea-belt and interior districts remain kirana driven.

Do I need an insecticide licence in Assam?

Distributing insecticides in Assam requires a Form VI licence under the Insecticides Act, 1968, issued by the Assam Department of Agriculture through the district agriculture officer. Submit your GST certificate, premises proof and the principal certificate we provide on appointment. The non-insecticide brands (Habro, Lovaire, Caesars, Gardenz) do not require this licence.

Why is Guwahati important for a North-East distributorship?
Guwahati is the distribution gateway to the entire North-East. Stock for the region routes through its wholesale markets, so an Assam appointment can anchor supply into the neighbouring NE states.
