Annouucement

　JARQ has been reporting the highlight of research results and practical experiences obtained in Japan with an objective of disseminating up-to-date information on what are going on and what have been done in agricultural research in Japan to our overseas friends. Articles which have appeared in JARQ were almost exclusively related to Japanese agriculture, covering crop production, animal production, agricultural engineering and machineries and food technology.
　From this issue onwards, however, JARQ will contain a special section for tropical agriculture, in which research findings obtained by the Tropical Agriculture Research Center in cooperation with research organizations abroad will be presented in the form of quick report of the Center.
　It is hoped that this section will increase the usefulness of JARQ for our overseas friends.
