Food Distributor in Qatar
Greenland is a food distributor in Qatar for hotels, restaurants, caterers, cafes, supermarkets and convenience stores. A food distributor in Qatar is the company that imports stock, holds it in a local warehouse and delivers it to kitchens and store rooms on set days, so a buyer can cover most of an order through one account.
Greenland carries more than 700 lines in 15 categories, all stored in its warehouse in Doha. Because Greenland keeps stock on hand instead of ordering in for each request, a line our sales team confirms is already on the shelf.

A kitchen buying rice, frozen, packaging and cleaning stock from four importers manages four delivery days. Greenland covers all 15 categories from one warehouse, grouped here the way a store room is usually laid out.
- Dry staples. Rice, flour and grains, pulses, spices and masalas, nuts and dry fruits, and salt and sugar, in kitchen and retail pack sizes.
- Oils, sauces and tins. Cooking oil and ghee, sauces and condiments, baking essentials and canned goods for prep kitchens and shop shelves.
- Frozen and fresh. Frozen chicken, meat and fish from our Doha cold store, alongside fresh produce and beverages and dairy.
- Disposables and packaging. Cups, foil, takeaway containers, cling film and other packaging for foodservice counters.
- Cleaning and hygiene. Dish wash, degreasers, detergent powder and the Dettol and Clorox lines a hygiene audit looks for.
GLF is the Greenland label, made to our own specification, and it sits next to the QFM, Quality, Zeal and international ranges we distribute, so a buyer can mix house and branded lines on one invoice.
Greenland started in 2021 as the FMCG division of United Group, and by 2024 more than 500 HORECA customers were ordering from us. When a line is missing, send it anyway: Greenland sources what it does not yet carry.
Kitchens in hotels, restaurants and cafes will find their side of this on our HORECA supply page, and shops buying for resale on our wholesale supply page.
How ordering works
Ordering from Greenland starts with the list you already use. After the first order, the week settles into a fixed pattern.
- Send your list. Send it by WhatsApp, by email or through the quote form. A photo of a list written by hand works just as well as a spreadsheet.
- Get prices and stock confirmed. Our sales team replies with a unit price for each line, what is in the warehouse today, which items need a lead time, and your delivery day. Greenland prices stocked lines on the same working day and gives a lead time for anything brought in. Greenland publishes no minimum order, because it changes with category and area, so sales confirms it on the quote.
- Take delivery on your route day. Greenland delivers with its own trucks from our warehouse in the Industrial Area, on scheduled routes that run Saturday to Thursday. Sites outside Doha are given a fixed day as well.
- Reorder on a standing week. One person at Greenland looks after every reorder on your account, so every later order matches the first in spec, pack and day.
The office is open 8am to 5pm, Saturday to Thursday, and closed on Friday. To start, request a quote with your current list.
Pack sizes and formats
Pack size decides how a line is stored and how often it is reordered, so many lines come in more than one format.
- Kitchen sacks. Rice up to 35kg and flour in 50kg, for kitchens cooking the same staple twice a day.
- Foodservice tins and cases. Oil in 18 litre tins and frozen chicken packed by the case, sized for a busy line.
- Catering packs. Catering companies buy case quantities as standard, along with 15kg and 20kg packs.

Halal, food safety and vendor compliance
Every product Greenland imports, stores and delivers is 100 percent halal, and that includes all frozen chicken, meat and fish. Greenland controls the cold chain from the moment of import until delivery, and frozen lines move through a HACCP certified chain via our Doha cold store.
For a vendor registration file, Greenland holds ISO 9001, ISO 22000, HACCP and ICV certificates. Our certifications page lists them, and sales can send halal and origin papers for individual lines with the quote.
When another supplier fits better
Among foodstuff importers and distributors in Qatar, a broad range is not always the right fit. A kitchen that buys one category in very large volume may get a better arrangement from an importer that deals only in that line.
A buyer who needs a product manufactured to their own recipe is better served by a manufacturer, since Greenland imports and distributes. Our trucks also do not run on Friday, so a site that needs a Friday drop should plan around that or use another supplier for that day.
