This model shows the sources of the world's raw cocoa beans, sends the beans to be processed in the Netherlands, and then shows the beans redistributed to Belgium, Switzerland, and the US, the world's top 2 chocolate consumers. There are more countries that supply chocolate than those shown here. Future development will add those countries, but for now, the top 3, Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, and Indonesia, are represented.
The model creates breeds of turtles based on countries of origin, moves them to processing, and then moves the processed beans to consumption.
The begin button starts the model and creates all the turtles. Then the country buttons show you the chocolate produced and eaten by different countries. The process button funnels all the cocoa through the Netherlands.
