Accra: The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Agribusiness has announced that sachet water prices will remain unchanged following engagement with industry stakeholders.
According to Ghana News Agency, the decision follows a meeting between the Ministry, the Ghana Plastic Manufacturers Association (GPMA), and the National Association of Sachet and Packaged Water Producers (NASPAWAP). The Ministry assured consumers that they can continue to purchase sachet water at the current price.
NASPAWAP had previously announced a planned price increase set for April 2, citing rising production costs due to global supply disruptions. However, the Ministry commended stakeholders for suspending the adjustment, which was to take effect on Monday, April 6, 2026.
The Ministry emphasized that this decision underscores its commitment to protecting consumers and ensuring market stability. It also stated that it would remain steadfast in collaborating with trade associations to address industry concerns and maintain price stability.
