As can be seen from the tables, the sales of bananas far exceeded that of coffee, especially in Switzerland, who consumed the most bananas than the other countries, while UK preferred to consume more coffee than the others. Moreover, the sales of these two products saw an increase over the five years, except Sweden and Denmark, whose sales on bananas went to downward trend.

As of coffee sales, UK had a sharp increase about 13 times in 2004, amounted to 20 million euros, over that in 1999. Similarly, Switzerland also doubled its sales of coffee from 3 million euros in 1999 to 6 million euros in 2004. Other countries also saw an upper trend, though less significantly, which are Denmark, Belgium, and Sweden.

As of bananas sales, Switzerland outstood all the other countries shown in the table, accounted for 15 million in 1999, later more than tripled in 2000. By contrast, the other countries’ sales figures on bananas are much insignificant, less than 6 million euros altogether in 1999, later in 2000 not even exceeding 12 million euros. More interestingly, while the other three countries are adding value on its banana sales, Sweden and Demark saw a drastic decline by 80% (Sweden) and 55% (Demark).
