What are the stages involved in chocolate production and how are they linked with trading?

Answer 1

Stages:

1-Cacao varieties 2-Processing

3-Blending 4-Conching

5-Tempering 6-Storage

Approximately two-thirds of the entire world's cocoa is produced in Western Africa, with 43% from a place named Côte d'Ivoire, where child labour is a commonly used to obtain the product.

According to the World Cocoa Foundation, 50 million people around the world depend on cocoa as a source of livelihood.

In the UK, most chocolatiers purchase their chocolate from them, to melt, mould and package to their own design.

Regardless of some disagreement in the European Union about the definition, chocolate is any product made primarily of cocoa solids and cocoa butter.

Production costs can be decreased by reducing cocoa solid content or by substituting cocoa butter with another fat. Cocoa growers object to allowing the resulting food to be called "chocolate", due to the risk of lower demand for their crops.

There are two main jobs associated with creating chocolate candy, chocolate makers and chocolatiers.

Chocolate makers use harvested cacao beans and other ingredients to produce covertures chocolate. Chocolatiars use the finished covertures to make chocolate candies.

Answer 2

Chocolate can only be produced in hot enviroments. That means chocolate is mainly produced in Africa. So places like the US and Great Britain will have to trade with African countries if they want to get chocolate. This makes trade very important in the production of chocolate.
