IELTS Sample Answer 2
The table shows the sales figures of Fairtrade-labelled goods in five European countries in millions of euros in 1999 and 2004. The figures are for coffee and bananas.
First of all, although coffee sales increased over the period in all five countries, there was a large difference in how they increased. In Switzerland and in Belgium, fairtrade coffee sales more or less doubled to 6 and 1. 7 million respectively, while in Denmark and Sweden sales increased very little, rising only 0. 2 million in both countries. In contrast, Britain’s consumption of coffee rocketed from 1. 5 to 20 million, which catapulted it from the third largest consumer in 1999, to first five years later.
It was a slightly different story with Bananas. The first key difference is that generally fairtrade Banana sales increased dramatically. For example, in the UK they tripled to over 45 million (from 15), in Switzerland they rose by over 500% to 5. 5, and in Denmark they rose even faster, growing from 0. 6 to 4 million, which was an increase of more than 600%. While these countries experienced dramatic growth, in Belgium and Sweden, sales actually halved to 1 and 0. 9 million respectively. As a result, these countries fell to fourth and fifth.
In conclusion, coffee sales increased in more countries than banana sales. It also shows that the sales of both rose much faster in the UK than any other countries, though Switzerland also did well.
