The tables below give information about sales of Fairtrade*-labelled coffee and bananas in 1999 and 2004 in five European countries. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The two tables illustrate the sales of Fairtrade-labelled coffee and

bananas

in five different European

countries

namely, the UK,

Switzerland

, Denmark, Belgium and Sweden in the years 1999 and 2004. The sales are given in millions of Euros and fairtrade coffee and

bananas

indicate that the farmers who produced these are from developing

countries

and have been paid a decent price for their production.

Overall

, the

Switzerland

market was high in the former year for both products and it remained the same in the latter period by making the highest revenue for

bananas

.

Firstly

, the monetary value of coffee in 2004 was greater than in 1999 for all the

countries

. Over the period, Swedes made the least revenue for it, though Belgium and the UK were two of the least marketing regions they had a massive hike to 17 and 20 million respectively by the year 2004.

Moreover

,

Switzerland

doubled its production rates from 1990 to 2004.

Secondly

, the monetary values for

bananas

gradually declined to 1 and 0.9 from 1990 to 2004 for the

countries

Sweden and Denmark respectively.

In contrast

,

Switzerland

increased its sales more than three-fold times in the year 2004.

However

, the UK and Belgium have slight growth in their economy to 5.5 and 4 from 1 and 0.6 respectively.
