Why Azerbaijan needs activated bleaching clay
Azerbaijan's economy is led by Caspian oil and gas, with Baku as its industrial and commercial centre. Cargo from India typically moves through the Georgian ports or the INSTC corridor.
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.
