The tables illustrate the number of money gained from selling Fairtrade-labelled coffee and bananas in five different countries in Europe in 1994 and 2004.
Overall, it is clear that sales of those products mostly increased between two years, except for the figures for bananas in Sweden and Belgium. The biggest rise in sales was the UK and Switzerland respectively.
In 1999, Switzerland had the highest sales of coffee at €3 million. Moreover, it had doubled to €6 million after five years. By 2004, however, sales of coffee in the UK had reached a peak of €20 million, which was a massive climb from €1. 5 million in 1999 and this was over threefold than Switzerland's sales in that year. The year 2004 also saw a significant growth in money spent on bananas in the UK and Switzerland, increasing over threefold to €47 million and over fivefold to 5. 5 millions of euros correspondingly.
Sales of two Fairtrade goods were lower in Denmark, Belgium and Sweden. The small rise in sales of coffee can be seen, but revenues remained at 2 millions of euros or below in all three countries in both years. Also, the budgets spent on Fairtrade bananas fell slightly from about €2 million to around €0. 9 million in Belgium and Sweden.
