Coffin makes in Kumasi Metropolis set to increase price next
According to them, because the cost of the raw materials they use has tripled, there is nothing else they can do but to increase pricing to stay in business.
Agya Appiah, a manufacturer of coffins and caskets with about 30 years of experience, stated to the media that;
"In 1992, I was an apprentice; today, I own and operate my own firm. I was instructed today to pay Ghc 240 for the fabric we will be using to decorate the casket, which I had purchased on Friday for Ghc 200. I was unable to purchase it, so I had to return home to ask for the remaining funds.
"Things are pricey, so I wouldn't offer to sell the caskets at a discount. All of the manufacturers here have agreed to raise and maintain a single pricing, preferably by next week,"
"This casket is known as "Abenwaha," and it costs between $1,500 and $2,000. But now, I might not be able to make a profit if I don't sell it for $2,800."
Predictably, many local firms will soon be forced to shut down due to excessive inflation, rising fuel and electricity prices, and other factors.
For many business owners in the nation, the future is bleak because their enterprises are in danger of failing.
