Picture Cadbury in your mind. What did you find? Well, in 1868 a Cadbury chocolate
factory was opened up in Dunedin by Richard Hudson. Richard Hudson's first product
he made was Chocolate Chippie Biscuits which is now under Griffins. When Richard first
opened up his factory, they were manufacturing biscuits. In 1884, Richard Hudson opened
up his first chocolate cocoa manufacturing plant. In In 1930, Richard partnered with
Cadbury to create their first Dairy Milk Bar. Unfortunately the Cadbury factory in
Dunedin is shutting down and starting up in Australia.
Firstly, I believe that the factory shouldn’t move to Australia because we might taste the
change in the recipe. The chocolate could taste a bit bitter than sweet or they could add
more sugar and less cocoa which would not be nice at all. Maybe the packaging might
even change. The colour of the packet might change from purple to yellow.
This may lead to consequences. For example, workers may lose their jobs.
If they lose their jobs it will be hard for them to get money to provide for their families.
New Zealand will not be famous for Cadbury chocolates anymore. On the packets it will
now say “Made in Australia”. I would be harder for NZ because we would be the ones
that would have to pay for the chocolate to be imported.
To conclude, I would like to say that I vehemently believe that our NZ Cadbury factory
should not move to Australia because there are consequences for families and the recipe
could change.
