The Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry has announced that the price of sachet water will remain unchanged following the suspension of a planned increase that was set to take effect on Monday, April 6, 2026.
In a press statement, the Ministry commended the Ghana Plastic Manufacturers Association (GPMA) and the National Association of Sachet and Packaged Water Producers (NASPAWAP) for their cooperation in halting the proposed price adjustment. The move was described as a demonstration of collective commitment to consumer protection and market stability.
The Ministry reassured the public that consumers can continue to purchase sachet water at the current price and emphasised that no increase has taken effect. The intervention is aimed at cushioning households and maintaining affordability amid ongoing economic pressures.
To address sector concerns, the Ministry will hold an urgent meeting with GPMA and NASPAWAP leadership on Wednesday, April 8. Discussions are expected to focus on challenges confronting producers and explore sustainable solutions to ensure the continued stability of the sachet water market.
The Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to working closely with trade associations to resolve industry concerns promptly while safeguarding consumer interests.
