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

The tables illustrate the

revenue

generated from Fairtrade-labelled

coffee

and

bananas

in 1999 and 2004 across

five

European countries: the

UK

,

Switzerland

,

Denmark

, Belgium, and Sweden. It is evident that

coffee

sales figures increased in all

five

countries from 1999 to 2004.

However

, banana purchases only rose in three out of the

five

nations. By 2004, the

UK

had the highest

revenue

for both

coffee

and

bananas

. In 1999, consumers in the

UK

,

Switzerland

, and

Denmark

spent 1.5

million

, 3

million

, and 1.8

million

euros

, respectively, on

coffee

.

Five

years later, these amounts had grown substantially, with the

UK

reaching 20

million

euros

,

Switzerland

6

million

euros

, and

Denmark

2

million

euros

.

In contrast

,

coffee

revenue

in Belgium and Sweden was comparatively lower, with each country reporting no more than 1

million

euros

in 1999, which doubled to 2

million

euros

by 2004.

While

coffee

purchases increased across the board, the pattern for

bananas

was different. The

UK

,

Switzerland

, and

Denmark

saw their banana revenues rise between 1999 and 2004, but Belgium and Sweden experienced a decrease during the same period. The

UK

led in earnings for both products in both years, except for

Switzerland

's

coffee

revenue

in 1999, which was higher. In 1999, the

UK

generated 1.5

million

euros

from

coffee

and 15

million

euros

from

bananas

. By 2004, these figures had surged to 20

million

euros

for

coffee

and 47

million

euros

for

bananas

, making the

UK

the top earner among the

five

countries.

Additionally

, the increase in

coffee

revenues in the

UK

was the most dramatic, with 2004 figures more than ten times higher than those in 1999.
