Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The English language needs a careful edit I have made a lot of changes but probably missed some and left some that were acceptable but could be improved. My main concern is that there is no sensitivity analysis for the outcomes and recommendations. To say one crop is better than another based on a single point value is a bit of a stretch. There should be data on mean input price and output price variability over the last few years. Similarly on yields and on season length and conditions. thus ranges can be generated for the profit and it would be very interesting to see where these ranges lie. I believe the authors would have a tremendously improved paper with added sensitivity analysis.
