Italian term or phrase: lavorazione/trasformazione
In the field of agriculture, the raw materials produced on farms are 'lavorati' and 'trasformati' and then 'preparati alla commercializzazione'. Would 'lavorazione' be processing, 'trasformazione' be retail transformation, and then prepared to be put on the market?

Explanation:
See the additional context in the discussion entries. They both mean the same thing, so I would translate them as one word. Confezionamento is packaging.
