Conclusion

Overall we discovered the following:

• In most cases the same type of fruit came from the same place in different shops like bananas being from the Dominican Republic and Strawberries coming from Spain.
• However there was some slight differences between stores, for example Sainsbury's apples came from Kent, within the UK, whilst Iceland's apples came all the way from Italy.
• Most shops had fairtrade bananas but there were few other fruits that were fairtrade. M&S had the most fairtrade fruit whilst Iceland had the least.

• All of M&S' fruit was organic whilst much less of the supermarket's fruit was.

If we were to repeat this enquiry we would expand our area of investigation so that we could use larger stores with more variety. To do this we would have required more time and alternative transportation.
