Given are two tables showing how much Fairtrade-labelled coffee and bananas were sold in the UK, Switzerland, Denmark, Belgium and Sweden in 1999 and 2004.
The main feature is that consumption of both products in the United Kingdom and Swiss revealed the most significant increase compared to other countries (all figures in millions of euros).
To begin with sales of Fairtrade-labelled coffee, it is clear that English expenditure on this is by far the most from 1.5 to 20. The next is Switzerland rose by 3 to 6 in 2004. While the other three countries had fewer increases but among them, Denmark and Sweden's consumption grew up by only 2 from 1.8 and 0.8 respectively.
Turning to the banana sales, Swiss was 15 in 1999 and it's remarkably increased to 47 in 2004. The UK took up the second-biggest its consumption from 1 to 5.5 in the same period, and Belgium also showed an increase which is in contrast to coffee expenditure. However, it is interesting that the sales in Sweden and Denmark dropped by 0.8 and 1.1 to 1 and 0.9 each in 2004.
