please evaluate my essay(argument)

" There is evidence that consumers are becoming more and more interested in growing their own vegetables.A national survey conducted last month indicated that many consumers were dissatisfied with the quality of fresh vegetables available in supermarkets.And locally,the gardening magazine Great Gardens has sold out at the village New stand three months in a row.Thus,we at Green Thumb Gardening Center can increase our profits by greatly expanding the variety of vegetable seeds we stock for gardeners this coming spring. "

What strikes most in this claim is the management’s wrong analogy.What is their goal?At first they talk about the quality of fresh vegetables then they conclude with company profits by expanding the variety of vegetable seeds.It looks as if the company plans to bring more variety of vegetable seeds that produce vegetables with the same quality.Instead the arguer could have mentioned what they are to do to improve the quality.According to the survey,people are dissatisfied only with quality and not with vegetable varieties.The argument is weakened by the fact that the company did not take into account the difference between quality and variety.

Secondly,the company assumes that people are dissatisfied with all varieties of vegetables available in supermarkets,which is not evident from the survey conducted last month.They could have easily been a particular variety of vegetable.The survey does not differenciate between vegetable varieties.In absence of such statistical information,the arguer can not come to any such conclusions.

Thirdly,the arguer assumes that all people who read gardening magazines can grow their own vegetables.This is not true because there are so many factors to be considered for vegetable gardening such as soil fertility,climatic conditions of the region,required amount of crop and so on.Plus,these factors differ for each crop variety.Many vegetable varieties are imported from different places We do not know what percent of people are ready to invest their time and energy in vegetable gardening.Owing to these practical difficulties,the consumers can not avoid supermarkets and go for growing their own vegetables.

In the view of above points it can be summarized that the argument has failed in providing momentous statistical informations to substantiate the arguer’s assertion and is flawed in many aspects.
