Feeding the UAE’s shelves for more than four decades

Our vision
To remain a leader among UAE food distribution companies, offering high-quality FMCG products that support a healthier lifestyle.
Our mission
To exceed our clients’ expectations by sourcing a diverse range of food and beverage products from global brands, and delivering them with efficiency, integrity and care.

Local insight, international experience
Our team brings together people who know the UAE market street by street and specialists with years of international FMCG experience. We invest in ongoing training so that everyone, from sales to the warehouse floor, keeps up with how the market and food safety standards change.
That mix is why brand owners trust us to launch and grow their products here, and why retailers rely on us to keep their shelves full.

Our wholesale market in Dubai
Our Dubai wholesale market is one of the largest food wholesale hubs in the UAE, with fresh produce, beverages and packaged foods under one roof.
It exists to support small businesses: grocers, restaurants and caterers can buy what they need in one visit, and suppliers reach a wide base of retailers through a single partner.
Part of the Lifco Group
Lifco Al Rawabi belongs to a group of companies with operations across the UAE, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and China.
