The tables show how sales of coffee and bananas labelled as Fair Trade changed in five countries in Europe in two separate years, namely 1999 and 2004. Overall, there was a rising trend in coffee sales in all the countries, while banana sales had a mixed success. Notably, the leading country in each table was significantly higher than the rest.
With Fair-trade coffee sales, all of the countries saw increases. The biggest growth in sales was experienced by the UK, increasing from 1.5 million in 1999 to 20 million euros in 2004, and dominated the table. Although Switzerland had the highest sales with 3.0 million euros in 1999, it was outnumbered by the UK despite a two-fold increase (to 6 million Euros).In comparison, the remaining countries (Denmark, Belgium and Sweden) experienced growth in the category albeit small. They all stayed under 2 million euros.
Regarding banana sales with the same label, trends were mixed. Switzerland dominated in both years with 15 and 47 million euros respectively. The figures for the UK and Belgium followed a similar trend, both seeing a roughly five-fold growth to 5.5 and 4 million euros in 2004 from the initial 1 and 0.6 euros. In contrast, sales of bananas labelled as Fair Trade in Sweden and Denmark more or less halved to 1 and 0.9 million euros.
