Wine and oil-producing region. Bleaching earth is consumed in every batch of refined edible oil, at roughly 0.5–2% of oil weight, so refineries order it on a fixed schedule.
Argentina is one of the world's largest soybean-meal and oil exporters, with a growing shale oil sector at Vaca Muerta and industry around Buenos Aires and Córdoba.
