This is in response to the National Association of Sachet and Packaged Water Producers' request that sachet water prices increase by 60 pesewas.
Additionally, it was suggested that 500 ml bottles of water be sold for GHC 2.50, 750 ml bottles of water or medium-sized bottles for GHC 3.50, and 1.5 l bottles of water for GHC 5.
The Association attributed the hike to growing fuel costs and other input costs.
For instance, it stated that the Ghana Plastic Manufacturers Association (GPMA) has announced new costs for the plastic films and preforms used in the packaging of sachets and bottles of water.
Prior to today, prices last increased on September 19.
Businesses have had a lot of trouble with the cedi's devaluation, and several sachets
and packaged water makers threatened to stop making and distributing water if the government didn't do anything to stop the currency's wild slide.
