The tables show how much revenue is generated from the sale of cocoa and coffee beans in five European nations between 2000 and 2005.
Overall, although the profits made from cocoa beans and coffee both increased over time, this tendency was mirrored by all five nations. Notably, the UK exhibited the highest sales among nations in both products, while Switzerland’s sales held the lowest number over the period.
Looking at the sales of cocoa beans, in 2000, the number in the United Kingdom was 13.6 million euros, which then soared to 27.3 million by 2005. As for France, this quantity was 4.6 million, which also surged to 9.3 million in 2005. The three remaining countries, including Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, whose sales are respectively 2.6, 2.4, and 0.9 million, show similar doubling trends, but to a lesser extent.
In terms of coffee sales, the UK again led the list, with sales rising from 68.3 to 137 million euros. Followed by France with 32.6 million in 2000, which doubled to 65.2 million. From 2000 to 2005, comparable growth in coffee sales was observed in other countries, resulting in the higher overall values of coffee sales compared to cocoa beans.
