The diagram presents the process of chocolate production which is the all time favorite of all ages. Moreover, the other illustration also shows the way its price being separated and distributed to those participated in the process of production.
As can be seen in the diagram, making of chocolate is not just a matter of mixing and cooking using a stove. There is a need for special equipment particularly if a large production like in a factory is needed. On the other hand, dividing its price shows that a large amount of money is being allotted to the cost of ingredients and overheads as well as to the supermarket. Meanwhile, the small percentage of sales are only being given to the farmers who contributed for the main ingredient.
The cocoa, the main ingredient undergoes several processes before it became the delicious chocolate. It will be ground and will have two products which are cocoa liquor and waste. The cocoa liquor will then be transferred to a special equipment for pressing which will eventually become either a cocoa butter or powder. Sequentially, the cocoa powder and butter will proceed to the food industry for another certain production. On the other hand, the cocoa butter that underwent pressing will be mixed with sugar and other ingredients that will become an industrial chocolate.
On the other hand, the price of the chocolate is being divided into five parts, 2/3 of it will be given to the supermarket (34% of the money) and for the cost of ingredients and overheads (37% of the price). While, the remaining will be distributed according to different percentages; 15%, 10%, and 4% for the tax, the chocolate company, and the farmers, respectively.
