Why Burkina Faso needs activated bleaching clay
Burkina Faso is a landlocked Sahel economy built on gold mining and cotton, supplied through Abidjan, Tema and Lomé.
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.
