No Sachet water price increase – Trade ministry

Date:

The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Agribusiness has announced that sachet water prices will remain unchanged following engagement with industry stakeholders.

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).

“Consumers can continue to purchase sachet water at the current price,” the Ministry stated.

NASPAWAP had earlier announced a planned price increase on April 2, citing rising production costs linked to global supply disruptions.

The Ministry commended stakeholders for suspending the adjustment, which was to take effect on Monday, April 6, 2026.

“This decision reflects our commitment to protecting consumers and ensuring market stability,” it said.

The Ministry said it would “remain steadfast” in working with trade associations to address industry concerns and maintain price stability.
