Marketing of Vegetable Seeds: Practice and Behavioral Inclinations of Vegetable Seed Sellers and Farmers in Selected Areas of Bangladesh

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The discussed topic is interesting and important from the point of view of efficient marketing system. However, the article requires corrections and additions.

The justification for the research problems undertaken in the introduction is rather poor. It would be necessary to define the "marketing system" and discuss its specificity and role in agriculture/ vegetable seed sector, or more broadly in agribusiness.

The methodology is insufficiently described. What was the selection method for the research? Was it deliberate or random selection?

The "discussion" section is rather a summary of the research results. There is a lack of reconciliation with the results of other authors.

The contribution of the presented research results was insufficiently justified. The value of the work would be enriched by the indication of further research directions.

Reviewer 2 Report

The paper is documented and presented quite clearly. It looks more like a study of local interest.
In my opinion, the paper must be radically improved in the following aspects:
- the abstract is a synthesis of the general, introductory part, no clear aspects of methodology and results are presented.
- the documentation of the paper is very low, few and especially old reference are presented, the last paper as current is from 2017.
- the research methodology is poorly presented.
- the results are simply presented, the quality of the presented graphs being very low.
