International Journal of Agricultural and Biological Engineering (IJABE, https://www.ijabe.org) is a peer reviewed open access international journal. IJABE, started in 2008, is a joint publication co-sponsored by US-based Association of Agricultural, Biological and Food Engineers (AOCABFE) and China-based Chinese Society of Agricultural Engineering (CSAE). The ISSN 1934-6344 and eISSN 1934-6352 numbers for both print and online IJABE have been registered in US. Now, Int. J. Agric. & Biol. Eng (IJABE) is published in both online and print version by Chinese Academy of Agricultural Engineering.

As an Open Access journal, our papers are freely accessible online immediately upon publication. With the Open Access policy, our journal can reach a broader spectrum of readership by removing price barriers (subscriptions, licensing fees, pay-per-view fees) that some individual readers may experience. IJABE International Editorial Board is made up of over 300 leading researchers from about 50 countries who are dedicated to ensuring that authors get a fair, efficient and friendly peer-review service. To benefit from the specialist advice and support of these internationally recognized experts, publish your next article with IJABE.

Openly accessible IJABE provides wider sharing of knowledge and the acceleration of research, and is thus in the best interest of authors, potential readers, and increases the availability, accessibility, visibility and impact of the papers, and the journal as a whole. IJABE aims at promoting agricultural and biological engineering, increasing academic prosperity, and fostering international academic exchange and cooperation.

This journal provides a platform for sharing the latest high-quality research concerning the agricultural, food and biological engineering and the application of these engineering techniques in all areas of agriculture. The journal features works of great significance, originality, and relevance in all the concerned areas. Our readers are from the international scientific community and may include educators, policy makers, agricultural engineers and scientists, and interested members of the public around the world.
