'Who Gets What' in the bean to chocolate bar chain

 In ESOL, we started learning about the Chocolate Industry. We were separated into 5 groups; Growers of cocoa, buyers of cocoa, producers of other ingredients, chocolate manufacturers, and shopkeepers/retailers. Our goal was to decide how much of the $1.23 each group should get. 

Growers of cocoa

Rojan, Daniel, Ace, Tristan, Sofia

The foundation. Harvest cocoa when it's in good condition to be harvested and sent to the buyers. 


Physical Labor -Planting, Farming, Harvesting and Packaging. 


Areas of work - Tropical land or acceptable climate conditions in a land - Africa and Euro 


What do you do:


Keep the plants Healthy- Depending on Rainfall the Cacao will need between 1-2 inches of water per week. Don't let it get soggy. 


Make sure the plants is healthy/ taking care 

Daily routine 

Take care of the area 


Out of the $1.23 dollar we Growers take 20% of it Which is 25 cents. Respectably, We think that us growers should atleast get that much of the total profit as we do the growing and harvesting to sell to the manufacturers and sellers. But vice versa without the manufacturers and sellers we would not be making much in return.
