The diagram highlights the process of how chocolate is made.
Overall, the process has ten stages, which begin with growth of cacao trees and end with liquid chocolate.
In the first stage, cacao trees are planted and grown mostly in South America, Africa and Indonesia, producing ripe red pods. Once the pods are harvested to collect the white cacao beans, the beans are fermented for a period of time. In the next stage, they are spread in the sun to dry. When they are fully dried, they are put into large sacks in batches.
Following this, the bags are taken to a factory using transportation such as lorries or trains. Then, the dried beans are roasted in high temperature before being crushed and having their outer shells removed in the ninth stage. At the end of the process, the bare inner parts are put into a pressing machine, producing the liquid chocolate.
