The diagram illustrates the process of manufacturing coconut oil. Overall, there are ten stages, beginning with harvesting and ending with shipping, and several parties – including farmers, driers, clarifiers, and packagers – play key roles in ensuring the quality of the final product.
The process begins with harvesting, which directly affects the quality of the coconuts. Once the fruits are collected, they are dehusked to remove the outer shell. Subsequently, the coconuts are grated and weighed before being dried to reduce moisture content. After drying, the oil is extracted from the grated coconut.
Following extraction, the raw coconut oil undergoes clarification to remove impurities. It is then filtered to ensure purity and packaged for distribution. The final stage involves shipping the finished product to retailers or consumers.
Overall, the process is sequential and involves both manual and mechanical operations, highlighting the collaborative effort required to produce high-quality coconut oil.
