The National Association of Sachet and Packaged Water Producers (NASPAWAP) has announced an increase in the prices of sachet water, effective Monday, April 6, 2026.
In a statement, the association attributed the hike to the global shortage of polymers and rising production costs, partly driven by the ongoing conflict in Iran.
NASPAWAP outlined the new recommended prices as follows: GH¢8 per bag at the ex-factory level, GH¢10 ex-truck, and a maximum retail price of GH¢15 for a 500ml sachet water bag.
The association urged retailers and consumers to comply with the revised prices to maintain fairness in the market, while appealing for understanding amid the challenges facing producers.
