The two tables contain sales data for Faitrade coffee and bananas in 1999 and 2004, in five nations of Europe.

The first table shows low-level coffee sales increasing in all five countries, albeit to widely varying degrees. In two places sales increased by the same small amount: 1.8-2 million euros in Denmark, and 0.8-1 million in Sweden. The increment was lightly larger in Belgium, from 1-1.7 million euros. Meanwhile, in Switzerland sales doubled from 3-6 million euros. Finally, in the UK there was an enormous increase, from 1.5-20 million euros.

In the second table, it is Switzerland which stands out as buying far more Fairtrade bananas than the other four countries. Swiss sales figures jumped from 15-47 million euros across these five years, while in the UK and Belgium sales only grew from 1-5.5 and from 0.6-4 million?euros respectively. Sweden and Denmark showed a different pattern, with falls in banana sales from 1.8-1 and 2-0.9 million euros.

Comparing the two tables, it is clear that in 1999 Fairtrade coffee sales ranged from 0.8-3 million euros in these five countries, while banana sales also mostly clustered between 0.6 and 2 million euros, with Switzerland the outlier at a huge 15 million euros. By 2004, sales figures for both products had risen across the board, except for Sweden and Demark which recorded drops in banana sales.

这两个表格包含1999年和2004年欧洲五个国家Faitrade咖啡和香蕉的销售数据。

第一张表显示，所有五个国家的低级咖啡销售额都在增长，尽管程度相差很大。在两个地方，销售额增长幅度都很小：丹麦为180-200万欧元，瑞典为80-100万欧元。比利时的增幅略大，从100万欧元到170万欧元不等。与此同时，瑞士的销售额从300万至600万欧元翻了一番。最后，在英国，资金大幅增加，从150万欧元增加到2000万欧元。

在第二个表中，瑞士的公平贸易香蕉购买量远远超过其他四个国家。在这五年中，瑞士的销售额从1500万欧元增至4700万欧元，而英国和比利时的销售额分别从150万欧元和60万欧元增至400万欧元。瑞典和丹麦则表现出不同的模式，香蕉销售额分别从180万欧元和290万欧元下降。

比较这两个表，很明显，1999年公平贸易咖啡在这五个国家的销售额在80万至300万欧元之间，而香蕉的销售额也大多集中在60万至200万欧元之间，其中瑞士的销售额为1500万欧元。到2004年，这两种产品的销售额都出现了全面增长，但瑞典和丹麦的香蕉销售额有所下降。
