The National Association of Sachet and Packaged Water Producers (NASPAWAP) has announced that the maximum retail price for a bag of Sachet Water will be sold at GH¢15, effective April 6, 2026.
NASPAWAP announced an upward revision of sachet water prices attributing it to the global shortage of polymers and rising costs.
They also cited the ongoing conflict in Iran, saying it has significantly affected production.
In a statement issued on Thursday, April 2, 2026, NASPAWAP stated, “The rising costs have made it challenging for manufacturers to maintain current prices,” the group said.
“The new recommended prices are:
Ex-factory: GH¢8 per bag of 30 sachets of 500ml
Ex-truck: GH¢10 per bag of 30 sachets of 500ml
Maximum retail: GH¢15 per bag of 30 sachets of 500ml”
They further urged retailers and consumers to adhere to the new prices to ensure fair trade practices.
“This adjustment is necessary to sustain production and ensure the continuous supply of safe drinking water,” the association added.
Some Ghanaians reacting to the development stated, “Inflation moved from a double digit to a single digit, and we really didn’t see any significant change in price. All Ghanaians ever care about is increasing prices and maximising profit”.
“Time to start filling my empty bottles”, a netizen added.
“When the dollar and inflation were down…price was the same, but as soon as there’s an inconvenience, price increases to never be reduced. The Ghanaian culture of trade. We are our own worst enemies, and we will continue churning out even worse leaders”, a netizen added.
One X user added, “Nonsense!! When they were supposed to increase it to 30p or 40p, they didn’t and took it all the way to 50p because they didn’t accept the 10p coin. Now look at them being greedy again”.
“Ghanaian err, we are our own enemies. When prices drop, they never drop the price, but when they increase the prices, they want to increase them.
It’s not NPP or NDC that has a problem. It’s all Ghanaians”, a Ghanaian stated.
A netizen added, “When I say capitalism will be our end, people were attacking me. Capitalism and democracy have never helped any developing country.
When are we going to tell ourselves the truth kraaa?”
“Inflation dey go down
Light dey go down
But things are increasing
Herrr Ghana and settings”, an X user listed.
One last X user stated, “On what basis, what’s the justification.. Charley, we are our own enemies. Inflation is down, the dollar is stable, the electricity tariff is being reduced, so on what grounds exactly are they increasing the price… Greedy b@stards…”
