Industrial Crops and Products, an International Journal, publishes papers
reporting the results of original research, short communications and
critical reviews on all aspects of industrial crops and products.

This covers a wide range of aspects of cultivation, crop improvement, crop
compounds, processing, and integrated chain control, all focussing on the
exploitation of agricultural crops for industrial use.

The scope of the journal covers a vast range of crops and research
disciplines. Crops should contain significant renewable resources such as:

- Fibres and fibre compounds
- Carbohydrates
- Oils and fatty acids
- Waxes, resins, gums, rubber, and other polymers
- Proteins
- Essential oils for ink, lubricants, plastics, cosmetics
- Biologically active compounds for pharmaceutical, herbicides and
insecticides, and preservatives.

Examples of new or potential crops are agave, cassava, crambe, cuphea,
elephant grass, fibre hemp, flax, guar, guayule, jojoba, kenaf, lesquerella,
maize, meadowfoam, oil palm, peas, plantago, potato, pyrethrum, rape seed,
safflower, soybean, Stokes aster, sugar beet, sunflower, vernonia, and
wheat.

Papers within the above indicated frame-work will be accepted if they cover
or integrate research on:

- Agronomic production and modelling
- Breeding, genetics, and biotechnology
- Post-harvest treatment and storage
- (Bio)process technology
- (Bio)chemistry
- Product testing, development, and marketing
- Economics, and systems analysis and optimization

Audience: Scientists in the areas of agronomy, crop protection, post-harvest
and processing research, product testing and evaluation, distribution,
marketing and economics.

articles are available in PDF format.  After 1 December 2000 free online
access to full text articles will only be available to those readers whose
