The tables below give information about sales of Fairtrade*-labelled coffee and bananas in 1999 and 2004 in five European countries.
The tables provide financial data about two products which are labelled as fairtrade in five separate nations in the years 1999 and 2004.
Overall
, it is readily apparent that the UK has benefited the most from selling coffee. However
, the table reveals that Switzerland earned the highest amount of money by selling bananas.
To begin
with the first table, the UK sold 1.5 million
euros of coffee in 1999. However
, this
number rose significantly to 20 million
euros in 2004. Moreover
, Switzerland doubled its sales from 3 to 6 million
over the entire period. Furthermore
, the figure for Denmark and Belgium increased slightly to 2 and 1.7 million
respectively in 2004. It is worth noting that Sweden profited the least and raised from 0.8 to 1 million
during the entire period.
Turning towards the second table, Switzerland was the greatest banana seller by far in both years with 15 and 47 million
euros. In addition
, the UK made a profit of 4.5 million
during the 5-year period. Nevertheless
, Belgium increased its sales from 0.6 million
in 1999 which was the least in that particular year to 4 million
in 2004. By contrast
, Sweden and Denmark saw a decrease of 0.8 and 1.1 million
from 1999 to 2004.Submitted by amirahmadi9301 on
