Logistics main reason for bottled water price increase in Brunei

BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN (Borneo Bulletin/Asia News Newtwork): The rise in logistics cost, such as plastic materials used in bottling water, is the major contributing factor for the recent increase in the price of bottled water in the country, said Minister at the Prime Minister’s Office and Minister of Finance and Economy II Dato Seri Setia Dr Awang Mohd Amin Liew Abdullah.

However, bottled water will not be included as a controlled item, said the minister in response to a query on Saturday (Sept 18).
