increase in sales and the lowest being Norway. In the second table, sales of
pineapples labeled Fairtrade* in 5 years also tend to increase in 3 countries, Austria,
France, and Netherlands, while Norway and Germany have a downward trend.

In the first table, France is the country with the highest growth in tea sales, from 2.5
million euros in 2010 to 21 million euros in 2015 and becoming the country with the
highest tea sales of the five countries. Austria followed with 8 million euros in 2015,
double that of 2010. The Netherlands also saw a significant increase in sales from 2
million to 2.7 million euros, while Germany and Norway did not show a rather small
growth of 0.2 million euros and reached 3 and 2 million euros respectively in 2015.

2010 to 48 million euros in 2015 it has become the leading country in pineapple
sales. In contrast, in Germany and Norway sales of pineapples have been reduced by
about half compared with sales in 2010 to 1.9 and 2 million euros respectively in
2015.
