Why Tunisia needs bleaching earth

Tunisia is a North African manufacturing and olive-oil economy with textile, automotive-component and phosphate-chemical industries.

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.

Edible oil milling & refining in Tunisia

Tunisia is one of the world's largest olive-oil exporters, with many mills and refiners.

In Tunisia, oilseed crushing mills and solvent extraction plants buy bleaching earth from us mainly for edible oil refineries (palm, soybean, sunflower, rapeseed, rice bran) and mineral and lubricant oil re-refining.
