"Who gets what" in the bean to choclate bar chain.

 Our task was to determine how much money should each group get, based on the phases of making chocolate.

Growers - The growers grows the main resource for making chocolate which is cocoa. 

Buyers - They buy the cocoa from the cocoa farmers and then sold to companies that manufactured them.

Other ingredient manufacturers - This phase includes the making of other products that is needed for making chocolates.

Manufacturers - The people who develops the cocoa into chocolate, packaging.

Retailers - Shops around the world that sells the finished product.

In this paticurlar work, our group had been demed to be the retailors.

Dividing profits:

The teacher's plan was to get every representative frome ach group to come up with a reason that they should have that much percentage from the profit and how they can defend it. However, many decided to back down due shyness. One of our students decided to be the solicitor meaning a person who organised and talks for everyone in the group. With all the backup reasons why they should have a higher or lower rate of income we all decided with an outcome. But this outcome had no succes, after knowing the results, we were all shocked by how much far we were compare to the real percentage of profit divided to each phases of making a chocolate. 

In conclusion, I think it is unfair that the chocolate industry gives a little amont to the cocoa producers.
