Prices of Sachet and bottle water are said to go up from Monday, 31st October, 2022. The sachet water is now to be sold at 60pesewas with the bag of water being 10cedis and this is due to the depreciation of the Ghana cedi.
This follows a recommendation from the National Association of Sachet and Packaged Water Producers for prices of sachet water to go up by 60 pesewas.
It also suggested that 500ml bottled water be retailed at GH¢2.50, 750ml bottled water or medium size be retailed at GH¢3.50 while 1.5-litre bottled water will go for GH¢5.
Before today, the last increase in prices was on September 19.
The depreciation of the cedi has been a major problem for businesses, and some sachet and packaged water producers threatened to shut down production and distribution of water if the government failed to deal with the free fall of the cedi.
