Bulk cooking oil procurement operates at several volume tiers, each with distinct pricing, logistics, and supplier types:
ISO tank and flexitank (18–22 MT per 20ft container): This is the standard unit for international bulk cooking oil trade. An ISO flexitank — a single-use food-grade flexible bladder fitted inside a standard 20ft dry container — holds approximately 20,000–22,000 litres of liquid oil. Food-grade stainless steel ISO tanks (reusable) hold approximately 20,000–21,000 litres. This is the entry point for most direct-from-refinery procurement and delivers the lowest per-litre cost. Suppliers in this tier are typically refineries, export traders, or large distributors operating internationally.
IBC totes (1,000-litre intermediate bulk containers): IBCs are the mid-tier format — palletised plastic containers with a steel frame, holding 1,000 litres each. Minimum orders of 1–5 IBCs (1–5 MT) are available from regional distributors at a higher per-litre cost than ISO tank pricing but without the commitment of a full container. IBCs are practical for food manufacturers with limited tankage who need to top up stock frequently.
