The Dunkwa Sachet Water Producers Association is set to increase price of the product in the Municipality and its environs due to high cost of production.
Prices of sachet are expected to go up starting November 9th,2022.
The Association hopes to announce the new price to help members meet the cost of production and improve the quality of the product.
Accordingly, the price of a bag of sachet water would sell at GH¢7.00.
The normal iced sachet water will be sold at 40 Pesewas.
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.”
However, Ghana Plastic Manufacturers Association (GPMA) released new prices of plastic films and preforms used in sachet and bottled water packaging.
“As a result, most packaged water producers are currently unable to purchase materials to the expected levels while others are not operating as they cannot afford the losses of 45% on their working capital,” the statement noted.
