The diagram below illustrates the production process of bananas before they are bought in grocery stores.
Overall, the steps involve seven main stages, beginning with the growing stage and ending with the buying stage.
First of all, bananas are grown in the period of nine months to a year. The ideal temperature for growing bananas is between 25 to 30 degrees celsius. To support the growing stage, lots of rain is also needed. After that, bananas are picked when they are still green, to continue to the checking stage. During the checking stage, the good bananas are kept, and the employees will throw away the bad ones. Next, the good bananas are shipped away in the temperature of 13.3 degrees celsius.
Continuing the process, the bananas are rested in a special room until they become yellow. The ripe bananas are then packed and delivered to supermarkets using a truck. Finally, customers are able to buy the bananas while shopping in the supermarket.
