Industry
Shrimp paste continues to be made by fishing families in coastal villages. They sell it to vendors, middlemen, or distributors who package it for resale to consumers. Shrimp paste is often known for the region it comes from since production techniques and quality vary from village to village. Some coastal regions in Indonesia, such as Bagansiapiapi in Riau, Indramayu, Cirebon in West Java, and Sidoarjo in East Java; as well as villages such as Pulau Betong in Malaysia, Ma Wan island in Hong Kong and in Lingayen Gulf, Pangasinan in the Philippines are well known for producing very fine-quality shrimp paste.
