The Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry has announced that the price of sachet water will remain unchanged, following the suspension of a planned price increase that was set to take effect on Monday, April 6, 2026.

In a press release issued by the Ministry, officials 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 adjustment.

The Ministry described the decision as a significant step toward protecting consumers and maintaining stability in the market.

“The Ministry wishes to assure the public that the price of sachet water will not increase today. Consumers can continue to purchase sachet water at the current price,” the statement said.

The government also disclosed plans to engage key stakeholders in the sector to address underlying challenges. A meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday, April 8, 2026, between the Ministry and the leadership of GPMA and NASPAWAP to urgently find solutions to issues affecting production and pricing.

The Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to working closely with trade associations to ensure a stable market environment and to resolve concerns swiftly in the interest of both producers and consumers.

The development comes as a relief to many Ghanaians who rely on sachet water as an affordable and accessible source of drinking water.
