"Advancing Agricultural Sciences Through Statistics" 

In recent years, Agricultural Statistics has emerged as an important research field and there has been a rapid growth in this field over the last few decades. This is evidenced by the number of international conferences that have been organised and one such prominent conference is the International Conference of Agricultural Sciences (ICAS), which is a triennial event since 1998.
