Task 1

Primary - Cadbury Farm

The Cadbury Factory is supplied with Cocoa beans from Ghana in West Africa; it has been supplying the Cadbury factory for over 100 Years. Supplying the factories in Bornville - UK and both the Irish factories, Rathmore in Kerry and Coolock in Dublin. Ghana has been supplying the Cadbury factories with the tastiest Cocoa Beans since 1908 all the way till today.

As other chocolate brands make there chocolate with powder milk, Cadbury makes there's with fresh milk to give it a more creamy taste and texture. The factories are supplies 365 days a year, from real farmers situated in Wiltshire in UK and Rathmore in Ireland. That's 400,000Litres in Britain and 227,000Litres in Ireland everyday. In total - 17,000 Cows on a daily basis!

In every half a pound of chocolate a glass and a half amount of milk is added. The half cup is added for the enrichment on the chocolate as it is known to be a luxury chocolate since when it was first made.

The farms are made sure they are taken care of. They are visited on a regular basis to check the hygiene and health of the cows, to make sure they are well and are not suffering from any disease. This is done so that all the milk they are getting from these cows is fresh healthy and is not a health risk.

Attendance of workers is also checked to make sure all the work is getting done and is up to date. This is so the Cadbury factory workers know exactly what is being done and what isn't. After finding out what is going on in the farm the workers who are doing badly either gets fired or is given warnings into becoming better workers.
