grammar
Overall, your essay provides a clear outline of the process of making tomato ketchup with an apt introduction and conclusion. However, there are some areas for improvement. There are minor grammatical errors (e.g., ‘illustrates’ should be ‘illustrate’, ‘suger’ should be ‘sugar’). You can achieve higher accuracy by proof-reading your essay.
coherence
You have a fairly good logical structure, but connections between sentences and stages can be more fluid. Adding transition words and phrases would improve coherence and cohesion. For instance, ‘After the first step, the next stage involves...’, ‘Following the previous stage, the tomatoes are...’, etc. This would help your essay flow more smoothly.
clarity
Some of the stages can be explained with a bit more detail for greater clarity. For instance, explaining how the tomatoes are crushed in a container or the process of boiling could provide a clearer picture. Adding a few more specifics can help enhance the task achievement score.
