It is fascinating to see how much progress we have made by just looking at the early issues of ANADOLU. It goes without saying that of the remarkably rapid progress ANADOLU had made in achieving that aim and how we looked forward eagerly to publishing its 30th anniversary edition.

It is wonderful to see that volume 30 represents the 30th anniversary of ANADOLU in 2020.

I would like to extend sincere thanks to AARI colleagues who have worked for ANADOLU over the last 30 years in making the ANADOLU the powerful voice in agricultural science in Turkey and internationally as well.

ANADOLU thanks to them has become a leading scientific journal in Turkey.
