The National Association of Sachet and Packaged Water Producers (NASPAWAP) has announced a price adjustment for sachet water, setting the maximum retail price at GH¢15 per bag effective Monday, April 6, 2026.
The association, in a statement, explained that the decision has become necessary due to a global shortage of polymers and a sharp rise in their prices, a situation worsened by ongoing conflict in Iran, which has disrupted supply chains and increased production costs.
Under the new pricing structure, the ex-factory price is set at GH¢8 per bag of 500ml x 30 sachets, while the ex-truck price will be GH¢10 per bag. Retailers are expected to sell the product at a maximum of GH¢15 per bag.
NASPAWAP noted that the upward adjustment is aimed at helping producers sustain operations amid rising input costs and urged retailers and consumers to comply with the recommended prices to ensure fair trade.
The association also appealed for public understanding, stressing that the review is in response to global economic pressures affecting the packaging and water production industry.
