Sachet water prices to increase from October 31

The price of sachet water will increase from 50 pesewas to 60 pesewas from October 31, amid Ghana’s cost of living crisis.

A bag of sachet water, which many Ghanaians depend on because of the limited supply of potable water, will be selling for GH¢10.

In a statement, the National Association of Sachet and Packaged Water Producers noted that “in the open market, consumers may expect to purchase a bag of sachet water between GH12.00 and GH15.00 depending on the shop location.”

The various sizes of bottled water will sell between GH¢2.50 and GH¢5.00.

Sachet water producers cite rising fuel prices and other input costs as the reasons for the increase.
