Why Indonesia needs bleaching earth
Indonesia is South-East Asia's largest economy and the world's largest palm-oil producer, with major coal, nickel and manufacturing 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.
