Our tobacco import and distribution business dates back to 1998, but it was in May 2001 with the birth of the tobacco shop ROOT that business really took off. Since then, ROOT has stood through the test of time, unwavering and growing, creating the identity recognized by any Maldivian today.

CGT Pvt Ltd (Consumer Goods Trading Pvt Ltd) – was officially registered on 14th of August 2003.

Our timeline shows the remarkable leap from importing just a few cases of cigarettes to becoming the largest tobacco distributor in the country.
