I run a portable water factory, including pure water(sachet water) and would like to contribute to this thread.

Though N20 per sachet can't be justified, but there are tins u guys really need to consider:

1-price of fuel has gone up, we need fuel to power gen and d delivery van.

2- our staff at d sachet water section complained of salary and we increased it by 25% 2months ago because we know d situation of d country. D least salary is now N16,500.

3- cost of nylon went up by almost 20% since d fuel subsidy removal, we don't produce that, we buy.

4-you have to keep some money aside for maintenance, in fact d mechanics now charge more for trucks.

5-lagos collects tax every other month.

6- d association collects annual dues

7- NAFDAC is on our neck 247, lab test, every3months and plus we pay d cleaners to keep d environment clean every day.

8-now let's talk of our profit
9- plus we have to set some money aside for growth.

10-d GEJ factor (u can't just take that away)

Don't get me wrong, N20 per sachet is a rip off, I just wanted to explain what d producers in Abuja mite be going thru.

Anyways we sell ours for N100 a bag. N10 per sachet is still ok sha.

AQUARON WATER.

Thank u very much for this piece of info...we are also aware of d situations!
N20 is really a rip-off!

3rdparty: @Poster,
what did you think transformation was all about?

Positive or negative?
Some can still be duressly managed, but this!

dasparrow:

Do what americans do here in the summer. Take a water bottle (an insulated one that can keep your water cool) and place it in the freezer or fridge and then take it with you when you leave the house. If you think that is too much of an inconvenience, then I guess you will have to pay the 20 naira for a satchet of water when you feel thirsty. All the best!

That water bottle will do...what is d substitute there in America?

tpia@:


and even if condoms were N20,000 each, those will buy regularly will still buy.

But it wont be everybody again....cant even imagine it!

Is this not worst than that of Ibb must go?

Abi o. After strugglin thru school, NYSC in far away & volatile Jos, searchin for a job for yrs in ds jobless country, now God has blessed me wit a Pure water factory & some pple don't want me to make profit? God forbid bad thin. Some even go as far as sayin ''afterall pure water owners dnt buy d water they sell'' Do they know we hav to pump d water out of the ground wit generator because PHCN is inefficient? Do they also know we hv to buy d nylon for packagin d water at a new price because of d new price of petrol, buy fuel at N97 for our generator & transprt d water to d retailers who demand for extra bags, pay d drivers, motorboys, cleaners, packers, operator who operates d machines at d factory & also pay NAFDAC & SON every 2yrs even after payin to obtain d reg. number. We also hv an association (ATWAP) dt collects a fine of N50k frm any pure water owner dt sells BELOW N100 per bag. Pls lets be reasonable & call a spade a spade. The govt isn't makin business easy in ds country. I even posted this wit a pseudo name to avoid harassment form d above mentioned groups. May God help us.

Justifying the N20?

I'm not justifying d N20. My factory isnt located in Abuja. Here we sell at N100 per bag & N10 per sacchet. Abuja pure water factories r just exploiting d fact dt they r in Abuja. I see no reason why they can't sell at our price N10. Afterall we buy all our materials at dsame price including fuel.

Thank you Sir.
Its just a mere exploitation and causing the hawkers to sell at the rate of N20, cos they wanna make their usual 100% interest.
They believe abuja is not for the poors....we shall c what happens eventually cos I have stopped buying....I hate being exploited!
