Why Sudan needs filter aid
Sudan's economy rests on agriculture (the Gezira scheme, sesame, gum arabic) and oil exports through Port Sudan.
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.

Sesame and groundnut oil mills need spare parts, bleaching earth and packaging.
In Sudan, oilseed crushing mills and solvent extraction plants buy filter aid from us mainly for edible oil refineries (palm, soybean, sunflower, rapeseed, rice bran) and mineral and lubricant oil re-refining.
