Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
In the manuscript the authors presented an important point, although the manuscript has some drawbacks.
Main remarks:
1. Materials - the results of the ADF test for the stationarity of the series are missing.
- not "zloty" but PLN,
2. Conclusions - very short. In your conclusions, please also answer the following questions:
• what are the directions for the future?

3. Discussion - too short discussion. Not critical.
4. References - a short list of literature.

Reviewer 2 Report
Dear authors,
I am glad I have this opportunity to review your manuscript. Based on its reading I have the following notes/comments:
Introduction - the last paragraph should be dedicated to the aim definition and the structure describtion (introduce readers how you wanna continue);
Time period - too short time scope of the research; the prices of agricultural products are characterized by high volatility, therefore it is worth considering a longer time frame in such analyzes
Results and Discussion - there is no comparison of the obtained research results with the research presented in other scientific publications; the research results are not innovative
References - I found a lot of Polish literature; look for other foreign sources where similar methods are used and compare the obtained results.
I personally consider your manuscript as a very interesting one. Many methods/formulas are used.
I wish you all the best with this manuscript and other ones in the future.
