ABSTRACT

Throughout recorded history one of man's greatest concerns has been how to influence his fellow man. My assignment is to help point out some of the training needed to exert an influence over those whose goal is the improvement of the dairy industry in Latin America. Many of the needs have already been stated by Dr. de Alba and I should like to discuss some of them in more detail and mention some others.

Dairying in the Latin American nations is developing at a rapid rate, considering the many grave obstacles to progress not completely understood by people in the United States. One must recognize that, taken as a whole, the present state of the dairy industry in Latin America does not compare favorably with that in the technologically developed countries, although there are isolated herds and processing plants comparable to the best available in the more advanced countries. As might be expected, development is most rapid near large population centers with access to transportation and markets.
