Bài ielts task 1 test2 cam10 sales for fairtrade-labelled coffee and bananas(1994&2004)

Question

The tables illustrate sales of Fairtrade's coffee and bananas which were sold in 1999 and 2004 in five European countries.

As can be seen from charts, it is evident that sales for coffee tended to grow, while those for bananas witnessed an not only upward but also downward trend.

In 1999, the amount of UK's coffee was sold by 1.5 millions of euros and reached a peak of 18.5 in 2004. A similar tendency could be experienced in the sales for coffee in Switzerland, Denmark, Belgium and Sweden; as there was a significant rise from 3 to 6, from 1.8 to 2, from 1 to 1.7 and from 0.8 to 1 respectively in this examined period.

In the next 5 years from 1999, sales for bananas in Sweden and Denmark declined slightly from 1.8 to 1 and from 2 to 0.9 respectively. However, in Switzerland, bananas consumption which was paid rose sharply by 32 millions of euros. Morever, in UK and Belgium, in this time revenue from bananas increased from 1 to 5.5 and from 0.6 to 4 respectively.

Model Answer:

The tables show the amount of money spent on Fairtrade coffee and bananas in two separate years in the UK, Switzerland, Denmark, Belgium and Sweden.

It is clear that sales of Fairtrade coffee rose in all five European countries from 1999 to 2004, but sales of Fairtrade bananas only went up in three out of the five countries. Overall, the UK saw by far the highest levels of spending on the two products.

In 1999, Switzerland had the highest sales of Fairtrade coffee, at €3 million, while revenue from Fairtrade bananas was highest in the UK, at €15 million. By 2004, however, sales of Fairtrade coffee in the UK had risen to €20 million, and this was over three times higher than Switzerland’s sales figure for Fairtrade coffee in that year. The year 2004 also saw dramatic increases in the money spent on Fairtrade bananas in the UK and Switzerland, with revenues rising by €32 million and €4.5 million respectively.

Sales of the two Fairtrade products were far lower in Denmark, Belgium and Sweden. Small increases in sales of Fairtrade coffee can be seen, but revenue remained at €2 million or below in all three countries in both years. Finally, it is noticeable that the money spent on Fairtrade bananas actually fell in Belgium and Sweden.
