- Ghitha Holding P.J.S.C. is an Abu Dhabi-based investment holding company that operates in the food, agriculture, consumer goods, commercial catering, and logistics sectors across the United Arab Emirates, the wider Middle East, Africa, and Asia. Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, the company functions as the primary food, agriculture, and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) investment vehicle of International Holding Company P.J.S.C. (IHC). The company operates through a vertically integrated business model comprising agricultural cultivation, poultry and livestock farming, seafood processing, food manufacturing, wholesale import and export, consumer goods distribution, contract catering, and cold-chain supply chain management.
The company provides an extensive portfolio of products and services, including fresh, chilled, and frozen poultry, table eggs, and hatching eggs; fresh, frozen, and value-added seafood and aquaculture products; dairy products, fresh milk, yogurts, cheeses, and packaged fruit juices; fresh fruits, vegetables, dates, and hydroponically grown produce; dry groceries, grains, basmati rice, edible oils, pulses, sugar, spices, condiments, canned foods, confectionery, and packaged beverages; non-food consumer goods, including household cleaning supplies, personal care products, and commercial packaging solutions; cold-chain warehousing, ambient storage, inventory management, customs clearance, and refrigerated distribution logistics; and commercial contract catering, institutional food service, remote-site catering, corporate dining, and facility support services for healthcare, education, aviation, military, and industrial clients.
In recent corporate developments, the company executed a major corporate reorganization and rebranding from Zee Stores P.J.S.C. to Ghitha Holding P.J.S.C. to lead the consolidation of food and agribusiness assets within the IHC portfolio. The company has driven significant expansion through high-value mergers and acquisitions, incorporating market-leading entities such as International Fish Farming Holding Company (Asmak), agricultural producers including Mirak Agricultural Services, food distribution platforms under Tamween Companies and NRTC, and industrial catering operations through Apex Investment. Additionally, Ghitha Holding has expanded its manufacturing and processing capacity across its poultry and seafood divisions, upgraded regional logistics hubs with advanced cold-storage technologies, and entered into new multi-regional distribution partnerships with global FMCG brand principals to strengthen regional supply chain resilience in alignment with the UAE National Food Security Strategy.
