Aarea of distance sphere in manifold with Ricci $\ge 0$.

Let $M$ be a open complete manifold with Ricci curvature $\ge 0$. By a theorem of Calabi and Yau, the volume growth of $M$ is at least of linear. I am wondering whether the following statement is true:

Let $p$ be any fixed point in $M$ and $B(p, r)$ be the distance ball of radius $r$ in $M$. Then there exists a constant $c=c(p)>0$ such that $Area(\partial B(p, r))\ge c(p)$ for any $r>0$.
