Production process

The production of cocoa, chocolate, and sugar confectionery involves several key steps. Cocoa beans are first fermented, dried, and roasted to develop their distinctive flavor. The roasted beans are then processed into cocoa liquor, cocoa butter, and cocoa powder. Chocolate is produced by combining cocoa liquor, cocoa butter, and other ingredients such as sugar, milk solids, and emulsifiers. Sugar confectionery, on the other hand, is typically made by cooking and mixing sugar with other ingredients like corn syrup, nuts, and flavorings.

The primary inputs for the manufacture of cocoa, chocolate, and sugar confectionery include cocoa beans, sugar, milk solids, and various flavorings and additives. Specialized machinery, such as roasters, grinders, and tempering machines, is also essential for the production process. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of packaging materials, including wrappers, boxes, and bags, to protect and present the final products.
