FAQ
Questions, answered straight
Distributorship, money, licences, products and supply — the questions our sales desk actually gets, answered the way we answer them on the phone.
What is Dutch & Habro India?
Dutch & Habro India is the Indian arm of Dutch & Habro International (founded 1993, present in 20+ countries). It manufactures six consumer brands at an ISO 9001 unit in Thrissur, Kerala, and appoints distributors nationwide.
How much investment is needed for a distributorship?
Between ₹5 lakh and ₹25 lakh depending on district tier — metros need more working capital, smaller districts start lower.
What margin do distributors earn?
Indicative distributor margins run 8–12% and retailer margins 18–25%, varying by category. Final terms are set in your agreement.
Do I need an insecticide licence?
Yes, for the Goodbye and Podo insecticide ranges you need a Form VI licence issued by your State Agriculture Department under the Insecticides Act, 1968. Habro, Lovaire, Caesars and Gardenz do not require it.
What is the difference between a super stockist and a distributor?
A super stockist supplies multiple sub-distributors across a larger territory; a distributor services retailers directly within a district. You choose which to apply for in the form.
Where are the products manufactured?
At our ISO 9001 certified unit in Thrissur, Kerala — giving Indian distributors same-country supply, GST invoicing and short lead times.
Do you offer private label manufacturing?
Yes. We manufacture white-label insecticides, air care, hygiene and shoe care for retailers, D2C brands and exporters, typically from a single production batch.
How do I buy in bulk for my institution?
Send your requirement and volumes through the contact page. We supply housing societies, hotels, hospitals, facility managers and government buyers with GST-invoiced slab pricing.
