Why Bogotá needs filter aid
The capital and largest market. 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.
Colombia is a large Latin American market with oil, coal and gold mining, palm oil, flowers and a strong manufacturing base in Bogotá, Medellín and Cali.
