According to the National Association of Sachet and Packaged Water Producers (Naspawap), the price of sachet water has increased once more as of Monday, October 31, 2022.
This follows an urgent stakeholder meeting on October 26, 2022, to examine the impact of the continuously rising cost of production.
Following the meeting, the National Executive Committee of the National Association of Sachet and Packaged Water Producers (NASPAWA)
“It is recommended that iced bottled water, 500m1 be retailed at GH02.50 and iced bottles water 750m1 or medium size be retailed at GH03.50, iced bottle water 1.5L be retailed at GH05.00 It is also recommended that the iced sachet water should be retailed at 60 pesewas.
“A bag of sachet water (500m1 x 30 sachets) will now sell at GH010.00 from the retail trucks as ex truck price. It is worth noting that the retail price of a bag of sachet water and packs of bottled water from mini shops will be determined by their retail associations, using other determinants such as rent and overheads that feeds into the final retail price. However, in the open market, consumers may expect to purchase a bag of sachet water between GH012.00 and GH015.00 depending on the shop location.”
According to the Association, all Regional associations should use these reviews as a template to ensure uniformity throughout the nation.
However, it issued a warning that due to transportation costs to far-off locations and other overheads, there might be modest variances across regions and towns.
Two price increases for Sachet water have occurred this year.
