Agthia Group PJSC (AGTHIA)

Agthia is Ghitha's most direct listed peer: an Abu Dhabi-based, IHC-adjacent food & beverage group whose UAE portfolio — bottled water, flour, animal feed, protein/poultry and snacking — overlaps Ghitha's food import, distribution and protein businesses, and which is pursuing the same GCC/MENA roll-up strategy.

Agthia's stated FY2025 read on its home UAE market: Al Ain claiming bottled-water category leadership at a 30.8% value share, and food revenue rising on new UAE local distribution agreements — the same water and food-distribution arena Ghitha operates in.

Al Ain bottled water retaining its market leadership position (YTD value share +1.9pts to 30.8% […] Food revenue +31.9% YoY in FY’25 on heels of new UAE local distribution agreements

Agthia describes an aggressive protein build-out — combined KSA protein sales up 41.1% and a second Saudi facility adding ~5,500 tons/annum in 2026 — expanding the value-added meat/poultry capacity that competes with Ghitha's protein operations.

Combined KSA protein sales, including Nabil export volumes, grew 41.1% YoY in FY’25, underscoring our strengthened market presence and expanding production capabilities in the region. […] Phase 2 of KSA facility to launch in early 2026 with additional capacity ≈ 5,500 tons/annum.

Hily Holding PJSC (formerly Foodco Holding) (FOODCO)

Hily, the former Foodco Holding, is another Abu Dhabi investment holding company whose group imports and distributes foodstuff in the UAE and runs foodstuff wholesale and catering subsidiaries — the local food import/distribution niche at the core of Ghitha's business.

Hily's board report defines the group as a securities/real-estate holding company that is 'also engaged in the importing and distribution of foodstuff and household items in the United Arab Emirates' — a holding-company-plus-food-distribution structure that parallels Ghitha's own.

The principal activity of the Company and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) is primarily the management of securities portfolios, along with investing, development and management of real estate and commercial enterprises. The Group is also engaged in the importing and distribution of foodstuff and household items in the United Arab Emirates.

The Group is expanding one of its warehouses in Al Mafraq and has engaged an external contractor for the same. The expansion is expected to be substantially completed by July 2025.

Savola Group (2050)

Savola is the GCC's largest integrated food platform (edible oils, sugar, pasta, frozen food and Panda retail), and its edible-oil and staple-food businesses across Arabia directly overlap Ghitha's edible-oils and food-trading operations.

Savola's account of its edible-oil business — a volume-led FY2025 despite 'continued competitive pressures' — sizes the intensity of the edible-oils category Ghitha also trades in.

Savola Foods Edible oil business delivered a stronger FY 2025 performance, primarily driven by increased volumes and higher commodity prices in the edible oil category despite continued competitive pressures

Saudia Dairy & Foodstuff Company (SADAFCO) (2270)

SADAFCO is the GCC's leading dairy and packaged-foodstuff player (Saudia UHT milk, tomato paste, ice cream) that is extending its distribution reach into the wider GCC including the UAE — overlapping Ghitha's dairy and foodstuff distribution.

SADAFCO's stated category shares — roughly half of Saudi UHT milk and tomato paste — quantify the entrenched dairy/foodstuff leadership Ghitha's dairy business competes against in the region.

Market Share (MAT^) in Dec’25 remained firm for UHT Milk (Plain + Flavored), Tomato Paste and Ice Cream at 50.5%, 51.3% and 30.5% respectively

p. 3 · Read in context →

SADAFCO attributes its sustained leadership to continued spending on selling and distribution — the distribution moat that is the direct competitive front against a distributor like Ghitha.

Continued investments in Selling & Distribution have supported growth and sustained market leadership (MAT Dec’25): UHT Milk (Plain + Flavored) 50.5%, Tomato Paste 51.3% & Ice cream 30.5%

National Agricultural Development Company (NADEC) (6010)

NADEC is a Saudi agri-food group spanning dairy, protein/meat, poultry, greenhouses and seed production (NSPC) — the same food-security verticals (dairy, poultry, aquaculture, agriculture) that Ghitha is assembling.

NADEC signals a move into value-added meat via a slaughterhouse joint venture (Hilton) — a protein-processing push that collides with Ghitha's poultry and protein ambitions.

MOU signed and joint business planning underway to introduce a value-added meat product range.
