Soya Sauce Consumption by Country
Key Takeaway
China had by far the largest supply of soya sauce in 2023 at 3,223,432 tonnes, equal to 75.9 percent of the 4,247,729-tonne total. Malaysia ranked second and South Korea third, while the Marshall Islands had the highest supply per person at 32.23 grams per person per day. These figures represent food available for human consumption, not the amount actually eaten.
Indonesia placed fourth at 89,459 tonnes and the Philippines fifth at 52,597, with Vietnam sixth (49,161), the United States seventh (28,226) and the United Kingdom eighth (21,988). The top three accounted for 88.2 percent of supply, and China stood 9.87 times Malaysia. On the per-person scale, Micronesia followed at 16.24, then Macau at 10.7 and South Korea at 10.39. Across the 175 countries with values in both 2022 and 2023, the common-country consumption total moved from 4,117,908 tonnes to 4,247,729. That was a gain of 129,821 tonnes, or 3.2 percent. China added 169,275 tonnes, up 5.5 percent, while the Philippines lost 10,733 tonnes, down 16.9 percent, and Malaysia 8,549. No country entered or left that one-year comparison, so the net reflects same-country movement. The Philippines and Malaysia eased alongside the net rise. Among the 172 countries reporting in both 2019 and 2023, the total moved from 3,869,573 tonnes to 4,246,098, a gain of 376,525 tonnes or 9.7 percent. The increase was heavily concentrated in China: its supply rose by 316,381 tonnes, accounting for 84.0 percent of that net increase. Malaysia added 32,638 tonnes and South Korea 13,178, while declines in the Philippines and Russia offset part of the gain. Cuba left after 47.95 tonnes, and three small entrants added 1,631 tonnes, led by Myanmar at 986.82. The Marshall Islands recorded just 456.82 tonnes but the highest per-person supply, at 32.23 grams a day, ahead of Malaysia at 25.48. Kiribati followed at 9.09, Samoa at 6.87 and Nauru at 6.5. China sat ninth despite its tonnage, while Malaysia paired mass with intensity. The intensity ranking does not follow the volume ranking. This page follows the SUA item labelled Soya sauce and counts only its rows; World, regional and aggregate rows are not in the table. The annual listed supply total sums the countries with a 2023 value. Food here means supply available for people to eat in the reference year, not amounts eaten. Honduras fell from 8,202 tonnes in 2022 to 328.97 in 2023, a 96.0 percent drop. The Marshall Islands, by contrast, ranked first per person with only 456.82 tonnes. Tonnes are FAO food supply quantity for 2019-2023, with element 5141 marking the country-total series and element 665 marking grams per person per day. Changes divide by the earlier year; zero base yields no percentage. Only countries with values in both compared years enter those changes. Reported zero and blank are never equated. The table covers 176 countries and omits World, regions and aggregates; among them, 175 hold a 2023 value. Figures describe food available for human consumption.

Methodology
Frequently Asked Questions
Which country has the highest soya sauce supply per person?
The Marshall Islands lead at 32.23 grams per person per day in 2023, from 456.82 tonnes, ahead of Malaysia at 25.48 and Micronesia at 16.24.
How much soya-sauce supply was reported in 2023?
The 175 countries with a 2023 value recorded a combined 4,247,729 tonnes, up 3.2 percent from 4,117,908 tonnes in 2022, a gain of 129,821 tonnes.
How much did China's soya-sauce supply change?
China rose from 3,054,157 tonnes in 2022 to 3,223,432 in 2023, a gain of 169,275 tonnes or 5.5 percent, larger than the net increase in the latest comparison.
Does soya-sauce supply equal food people ate?
No. Across 175 countries, the figures measure food available for human consumption in the reference year, not actual intake, so they describe supply rather than eaten amounts.
What happened to Honduras after 2022?
Honduras fell from 8,202 tonnes in 2022 to 328.97 tonnes in 2023, a 96.0 percent drop within a single year; its 2022 figure had been more than twenty times the 2023 one.
