Why Russia needs activated bleaching clay
Russia is a large resource and industrial economy with oil and gas, metals, grain and a large manufacturing base. India–Russia trade moves through St Petersburg, Novorossiysk and Vladivostok and the INSTC corridor.
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.
