The tables below give information about sales of Fairtrade-labeled 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 revenues of Fairtrade-labeled bananas and coffee in five European countries are illustrated in two different times between 1999 and 2004, symbolised in millions of

Euros

. From these tables, it can be seen that the product sales in the UK, Switzerland, and Belgium rose significantly.

However

, different patterns are happening in Sweden and Denmark, as bananas experienced a decline

at the end

of the period. The consumer from the United Kingdom favoured more caffeine in 2004 than any of the countries listed combined. Only spent 1,5

million

Euros

in 1999, the demand for caffeine increased significantly to 20

million

Euros

in 2004. These numbers were far above the Swiss people’s consumption, as they ranked first in 1999 and fell into second in 2004. The rise of arabica and robusta beans imports

also

happened in Denmark, Belgium, and Sweden, only they were not as significant as the former countries mentioned. In terms of banana importation, Switzerland positioned itself at the top of the table before and after the period ended. Bought 15

million

Euros

in 1999, the good import soared three times to 47

million

Euros

in 2004. Similar to Switzerland, the demand for these tropical fruit in the UK and Belgium

also

increased, multiplied by more than five-fold in these five years.

However

, the Danish and Swedish need for bananas declined, as the data shows that around one

million

Euros

were lost after five years.
