Investigation of the Factors That Contribute to Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Losses in the Australian Fresh Food Supply Chain
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Dear Authors,
Congratulations on the clarity of your writing.
After reviewing your article, I felt that some changes needed to be made. His conclusions are accurate but seem apparent. And prominent findings should not be published in scientific journals.
However, the most worrying thing is that its discussion is elementary. In general, you say that a similar finding has been reposted in another article. Note: a result already described in the literature should not be published. Excuse my bluntness. That's the rule.
You could mitigate these weaknesses if you explored your findings better. In particular, by indicating how you help to fill gaps in the literature or how your results contribute to those of other authors.
That said, I suggest that you guys rewrite the entire discussion section and the conclusion section.
Try to connect with new articles in this new writing.
