Reviewer 2 Report

GENERAL COMMENTS

The language used in this manuscript should be improved

ABSTRACT

Why was the data collected from many cities when the manuscript was about Dhaka?

INTRODUCTION

Poorly written introduction – authors should focus on the right subject. All the numbers need references.

87% imported textiles in Europe imported – this is from Bangladesh, China, India and other countries. Authors are moving out of the topic and do not have focus on their project.

The consumer willingness depends on many things including the cost. I do not see anything of that sort in introduction. This is referred to little extent later in the manuscript.

METHOD

Table 1 should have income as well. This can give a clearer picture

 

Authors need to improve the manuscript considerably before submitting again.

  2. ABSTRACT
    why was the data collected from many cities when the manuscript was about Dhaka?
    Author's response:
    Data was collected from 2 top cities, Dhaka and Gazipur. Dhaka is the capital city of Bangladesh and Gazipur is the largest city corporation in Bangladesh. Both cities are most populated and we believe both cities are important.
    But due to avoid any conflicts we decided to remove a specific city name from our manuscript title.
  3. INTRODUCTION
    poorly written introduction – authors should focus on the right subject. All the numbers need references.
    Author's response:
    we revised and re-organized. Also, add some points and detailing according to all referee's suggestions. Also checked and make sure all the specific numbers/data are referenced.
  4. 87% imported textiles in Europe imported – this is from Bangladesh, China, India and other countries. Authors are moving out of the topic and do not have focus on their project.

    Authors response: Yes, we rework and removed this type of point, and focused on our topic. Also, add some points and detailing according to all referee's suggestions.
  5. The consumer willingness depends on many things including the cost. I do not see anything of that sort in introduction. This is referred to little extent later in the manuscript.

         Author's response: According to this point, we extend our introduction with reference.

         METHOD:
      6. Table 1 should have income as well. This can give a clearer picture.

       Author’s response: yes according to your suggestion we added our income variables to our Demographic table.
