IELTS Task 1 - Tables give information about sales of fairtrade-labelled coffee and bananas in 1999 and 2004 in five European countries

The two provided tables show the values of sold coffee and bananas carrying the Fairtrade label in five countries in Europe, for 1999 and 2004.

Overall, the Fairtrade coffee experienced growth in sales in all five countries in the given period. However, it is noticeable that bananas with the same label had higher total sales in both years, although sales increase for this product was not universal among nations between 1999 and 2004.

When it comes to the producer-friendly coffee sales in Europe, the UK was the leader with €1.5 million in 1999, and whopping €20 million just five years later. The Fairtrade coffee sales roughly doubled in Belgium and Switzerland in half a decade, to the level of €3 million and €6 million in two nations, respectively. On the other hand, Sweden and Denmark had marginal sales growth of just €200 thousand by 2004, from their respective initial levels of €0.8 million and €1.8 million in 1999.

Fairtrade bananas were sold in larger volumes than coffee. Here, Switzerland was the biggest consumer, with threefold rise in sales between 1999 and 2004, when the sales hit €47 million. Modest €1 million worth of bananas was sold in the UK in 1999. By 2004, this number surged more than five times, reaching €5.5 million. Belgium had even larger rise in sales, going from €0.6 million to €4 million in five years. However, Sweden and Denmark were the countries where the Fairtrade bananas sales dropped, from around €2 million to about €1 million.
