Bahrain Food Holding Company, known as Ghitha, has signed a memorandum of understanding with Masar Group W.L.L. to study new areas of cooperation in food logistics and distribution. The agreement brings together two portfolio companies of Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding Company and is aimed at assessing joint investment opportunities, operational collaboration and knowledge sharing in Bahrain and across regional markets. The partnership is expected to focus on improving the movement, storage and delivery of food products, while also examining how digital tools and logistics infrastructure can support the growth of Ghitha’s portfolio companies.
Focus on logistics and distribution
The MoU was signed by Ghitha Chief Executive Officer Mahmood Zainal and Masar Chief Executive Officer Eng. Yusuf Khalifa Al-Manea. Under the agreement, Masar may provide logistics and distribution services to Ghitha and its affiliated companies.
Infrastructure under review
The two companies will jointly evaluate food logistics infrastructure in Bahrain, including facilities and systems needed to support reliable supply chains. A key area under consideration is the possible creation of a joint venture to own and operate food distribution and logistics activities based around Ghitha Food Park.
Regional market access
The cooperation also aims to help products from Ghitha’s portfolio companies reach wider regional and international markets through Masar’s network. This could support stronger export channels and improve access to customers beyond Bahrain.
Technology and food safety
The partnership will include the exchange of expertise in areas such as digital tracking, inventory management and compliance with food safety requirements. Ghitha’s leadership said dependable logistics are essential for Bahrain’s food sector, particularly in storage, cold-chain operations and distribution efficiency.
