Abstract
Summary Dairy science and technology research centers and units in FAO member countries are not as numerous as dairy educational centers and are concentrated in about 25 of the 108 FAO member countries surveyed, perhaps reflecting in developing countries the idiom that first things must come first. In this instance, students must come before scientists. A trend is apparent which indicates that interest in developing dairy science and technology research centers in various world areas, except possibly in Latin America, is strong, a trend which, however, may be arrested by the growing shortages of qualified staff in this field. Apparently, there is no shortage of dairy research problems; there is only a shortage of trained personnel to cope with them. One urgent obvious requirement for establishing new dairy science and technology research centers and for improving old centers is to entice qualified basic area scientists from chemistry, biochemistry, physics, and nutrition into the professional dairy research field and to encourage more capable young men to seek the dairy science educational opportunities which abound at universities and teaching institutes.
