Why Dhaka needs filter aid
The capital and centre of Bangladesh's garment, pharmaceutical and consumer-goods industries. 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.
Bangladesh is the world's second-largest garment exporter, with fast-growing pharmaceutical, steel, cement and edible-oil industries. Chattogram is the main seaport.
