Journal of Crop Production and Processing

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Crop Production and Processing is an open-access, double-blinded, peer-reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to advancing scientific knowledge and innovative practices across the full spectrum of crop science and postharvest processing. The journal provides an interdisciplinary platform for researchers, agronomists, plant scientists, soil scientists, agricultural engineers, and industry specialists to share high-quality research that contributes to sustainable agricultural production and food security.
 

Aims
The journal aims to:
•    Publish rigorous, original research that enhances understanding of crop biology, production systems, and postharvest technologies.
•    Support scientific innovation in sustainable agriculture, climate-smart practices, and resource-efficient production.
•    Facilitate knowledge exchange between academic researchers and agricultural practitioners.
•    Promote research that strengthens regional and global food systems, particularly in arid and semi-arid environments.
•    Provide international accessibility through English metadata and extended abstracts while supporting high-quality regional research.

Scope
The journal welcomes submissions in all areas related to crop production and processing, including but not limited to:

Crop Production & Agronomy

• Crop physiology, growth, and yield improvement
• Sustainable and precision agriculture practices
• Soil fertility, nutrient management, and soil–plant interactions
• Irrigation management and water-use efficiency
• Crop protection: weeds, pests, and plant diseases
• Climate change adaptation and resilience in cropping systems

• Harvesting systems and mechanization
• Postharvest physiology and technology
• Storage, packaging, and shelf-life extension
• Value-added processing of crops and agricultural products
• Quality assessment, safety, and standardization
• Technologies for reducing postharvest losses

• Agroecosystem modelling and decision-support systems
• Sustainable resource management and environmental impacts
• Organic farming and ecological cropping systems
• Integration of smart technologies (AI, sensors, robotics) in crop production and processing

• Agricultural economics and market analysis
• Policy evaluation and innovation pathways in crop production
• Technology transfer, knowledge dissemination, and farmer adoption studies

The journal aims to foster the exchange of scientific insights that contribute to improved crop productivity, enhanced food security, and sustainable agricultural development at regional and global scales.
