The given tables show the comparison of
coffee
and banana sales in two years, namely in 1999 and 2004. The data was recorded in five European states.
Overall
, demand for fairtrade-labeled coffee
products increased drastically in the UK and moderately in other countries. It can also
be seen that the banana market was mainly dominated by Switzerland.
Firstly
, in 1999, Switzerland was the coffee
sales leader with 3 million
euros and doubled their results throughout a 5-year period. Second in revenue was Denmark with 1.8 million
euros, but in 2004 showed small changes, only 200000. Next,
the UK followed closely with 1.5 million
, whereas
they became a leader in coffee
sales in 2004, their result in 1999 was multiplied by more than 10 times. Belgium and Sweden were insignificant figures in both years.
Focusing on the bananas market, Switzerland absolutely dominated both years, with 15 and 47 million
in 1999 and 2004 respectively. UK and Belgium demonstrated relatively the same results, their revenue increased by roughly 6 times in 2004. The only countries that had shrunk were Sweden and Denmark.Submitted by Umar on
