| Comments: | Rather technical term (read in an economics essay); generally paired with 原油 (crude oil), and shouldn’t be confused with it. (Both esp. used in discussing balance of trade.) A bit of digging indicates that it’s primarily (exclusively?) about vegetable oils and such – unrefined oils, not (as yet) suitable for human consumption. |
