The illustrations show how chocolate is produced.

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

This process diagram demonstrates the liquid chocolate production phases. The process includes ten stages. Production begins with the growth of pods on cocoa trees and then goes through the other steps. The pressing process is the final stage of the liquid chocolate production.

To begin with, cocoa production starts with cocoa trees, which are grown in different regions of South America, Africa, and Indonesia. Once the cocoa pods are ripe and red, they are harvested to manufacture white cocoa beans. After that, they are collected in a box to be fermented. Following this, they are laid out to dry in the sun. Subsequently, the beans are placed in large sacks before being transported by train or lorry to be delivered to the factory.

Next, after they are taken to the factory, they are roasted at 350 degrees celsius. Then, the roasted beans are ground in a mill and their outer shells are removed. Finally, the removed inner part is pressed by a double-sided pressing machine and the final production phase is completed. As a result of these construction processes, liquid chocolate manufacture is done.
