The diagram illustrates the process of producing olive oil from olives.
Overall, the production involves seven main stages, beginning with picking olives from trees and ending with the storage and sale of the final product.
First, ripe olives are picked from olive trees by farmers. After harvesting, the olives are rinsed in cold water to remove dirt and impurities. Next, they are transported by a belt to a machine where they are smashed. During this stage, the olives are crushed to produce olive paste while the stones are removed.
Following this, the olive paste is placed into bags with small holes. These bags are then stacked and pressed using a pressing machine. As pressure is applied, a liquid mixture of oil and water is produced.
In the next stage, this mixture is separated so that the olive oil can be extracted from the water. Finally, the oil is stored in containers and transported to storage facilities before being sold.
