Starting Monday, April 6, 2026, consumers will see a rise in sachet water costs following a recent announcement by the National Association of Sachet and Packaged Water Producers (NASPAWAP).
The association has attributed the price hike to a global scarcity of polymers, noting that the situation has been worsened by the escalating conflict in Iran.
These geopolitical and supply chain issues have driven up raw material costs, making it unsustainable for producers to keep prices at their previous levels.
According to an official statement, the adjustment is a necessary response to the significant financial pressure currently facing the manufacturing sector.
Below is the full press statement from NASPAWAP
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
National Association of Sachet and Packaged Water Producers (NASPAWAP) Announces Price Adjustment for Sachet Water
– The National Association of Sachet and Packaged Water Producers (NASPAWAP) regrets to announce an upward revision of the ex-factory and ex-truck prices of sachet water, effective Monday, April 6, 2026. These are recommended price reviews by the national body
This decision follows the global shortage of polymers and the sharp increase in their prices, exacerbated by the ongoing conflict in Iran. The rising costs have significantly impacted production, making it challenging for manufacturers to maintain current prices.
The new prices are as follows:
– Ex-factory price: GH¢8 per bag of 500ml x 30 sachets
– Ex-truck price: GH¢10 per bag of 500ml x 30 sachets
– Maximum retail price: GH¢15 per bag of 500ml x 30 sachets
We urge retailers and consumers to adhere to these prices to ensure fair trade practices. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this challenging time.
Sincerely,
NASPAWAP ( Director corperate affairs )
