Why Peru needs activated bleaching clay
Peru is one of the world's largest copper, gold and zinc producers, with a large agro-export industry and Lima as its main 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.
