BlowChem announces price reductions on beverages, effective June 1
BlowChem Industries Limited, producerrs of Bel Aqua Mineral Water and assorted beverages, has announced price reductions across most of its beverage products, effective Sunday, June 1, 2025.
In a statement issued by the company’s management, the decision to lower prices was attributed to the recent and significant appreciation of the Ghana Cedi against major international currencies.
The company said the improved economic conditions have made it possible to offer more affordable products to consumers.
“In line with our commitment to fairness and transparency, we believe it is only right to pass these benefits on to you, our loyal customers,” the statement read.
BlowChem, one of Ghana’s leading beverage producers, described the move as an industry first, positioning itself as a pioneer in responding to the positive shift in the economy by reducing product prices.
The company also urged its distributors, wholesalers, and retail partners to reflect the new pricing structure, so that consumers can fully benefit from the reductions.
BlowChem expressed appreciation to its customers for their continued support and reiterated its commitment to supporting them in both challenging and prosperous times.
BlowChem’s decision comes at a time when growing public pressure is mounting on businesses across various sectors to reduce prices in response to the Ghana Cedi’s continued appreciation on the foreign exchange market.
Over the past few months, the local currency has made notable gains, particularly against the US dollar, offering relief to importers and easing some inflationary pressures that have gripped the economy in recent years.
This strengthening of the cedi has sparked a nationwide conversation about pricing fairness, with civil society groups, consumer advocates, and even government officials urging manufacturers and service providers to adjust their prices downward to reflect current macroeconomic improvements.
Despite these calls, most companies have been slow to respond, citing stock turnover cycles and operational cost buffers.
