A small amount of fish sauce was shipped, about 12.6% of the nation's total annual production, according to the deputy minister of agriculture and rural development, with most of it going to the Asian market (54%) and the Australian market (18%), as well as the African and European markets (13 percent each). Fish sauce is presently being exported from 17 production facilities.

In the Philippines, more than 4,200 facilities produce fish sauce, with an average annual output of about 380 million liters, according to the Agro Processing and Market Development Authority. Vietnamese cuisine is typically served with a dipping sauce that balances salty, sour, spicy, and sweet elements. In recent years, the demand for fish sauce has increased in several nations, including Myanmar, Indonesia, and Cambodia. Growing consumer taste for Southeast Asian food and sauces has increased their appeal on a global scale, increasing demand for them.
