The upper west branch Association of Sachet and Packaged Water Producers has announced another upward increment in the prices of sachet water.
According to the association, the cost of production is high including the rise in tariffs, fuel and packaging material.
A speech read by the regional association secretary, Mr. Wiyor Abass Mbulibee noted that some water produce companies are on the verge of collapsing due to the current cost of production.
He added that, parking bag of hundred pieces in January this year was Ghs 16, now Ghs 30.
The association lamented that these materials are imported not produce in Ghana and noted that high rate of dollar to the Ghana Cedi is also a heddle to their business.
According to the Association, a bag of sachet water, 500ml by 30pcs, is to be sold at ¢7 maximum from the retail trucks.
Mini shops, however, will retail the commodity at ¢9 per bag maximum. The price of iced sachet water will be retailed at ¢0.50p.
