Another example… can you think of more? Example of a Chain of Production in action: BREAD 1. MATERIALS EXTRACTION: Wheat is grown on farms, then harvested. 2. PRODUCTION: Wheat is transported to a mill where it is turned into flour to be sold locally or overseas. 3. TRANSPORTATION: The flour is transported to bakeries where various ingredients (yeast, salt and grains) are added to turn the raw product (flour) into dough. 4. USE: The dough is then baked into bread, which can be sold in bakeries or supermarkets. Adapted from Land. Learn. NSW. (n. d. ). What is a ‘production chain’.
