The price of sachet water will be re-adjusted to ¢0.60 starting this Monday, October 31st, 2022.
The National Association of Sachet and Packaged Water Producers have announced that the upward review of the price is a result of the high cost of materials for production.
In a statement on Thursday, October 27, NASWAP said The price of the 500ml bottle of water will also be 2.50, while that of the medium-sized bottle will be 3.50, and that of the 1.5-litre bottle will be 5.
Excerpts of the statement read: “The National Executive Committee of the National Association of Sachet and Packaged Water Producers (NASPAWAP) therefore recommends the following price reviews of bottled and sachet water.
“These reviews serve as a guide to all Regional associations to ensure uniformity across the country.”
“A bag of sachet water (500m1 x 30 sachets) will now sell at ¢10.00 from the retail trucks as ex truck price.
“It is worth noting that the retail price of a bag of sachet water and packs of bottled water from mini shops will be determined by their retail associations, using other determinants such as rent and overheads that feeds into the final retail price.”
