Why Philippines needs activated bleaching clay
The Philippines is a fast-growing consumer and construction market, with a large coconut industry, manufacturing zones around Manila and a busy inter-island shipping trade.
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.

Coconut-oil mills and refiners in Mindanao and the Visayas need spares and bleaching earth.
In Philippines, oilseed crushing mills and solvent extraction plants buy activated bleaching clay from us mainly for edible oil refineries (palm, soybean, sunflower, rapeseed, rice bran) and mineral and lubricant oil re-refining.
