The National Association of Sachet and Packaged Water Producers has announced a price increase for bottled and sachet water, which will take effect on September 19, 2022.
According to them, the move is intended to maintain uniformity across the country amid gasoline price increases, increases in water and power prices, and the cost of packaging materials, which are largely imported as the cedi depreciates.
As a result, the increase is intended to assist producers in covering their production costs.
The association suggested in a statement that a 500 ml bottle of water be sold for GHS 2.00, a 750 ml bottle for GHS 3, sachet water for 50 pesewas, and a bag of water for GHS 7 and GHS 9 from retail trucks, respectively.
“We appreciate the difficulties our consumers have to go through to endure these hardships. We appeal to all to bear with us,” the statement appealed.
