From the standpoint of marketing, the dairy industry in the United States is essentially a domestic endeavor. Only a minor portion of its products is sold and consumed abroad and equally small amounts of dairy products from overseas countries find their way to the tables of U.S. consumers. There are powerful economic and political reasons for this isolation and one manifestation of it is the seeming inability to muster, among the segments of the dairy industry in the United States, enough unity to create the basis for official representation in the International Dairy Federation (IDF).

The benefits of such an affiliation can be argued pro and con but blame for the failure to bring it about can never be placed on the doorstep of the American Dairy Science Association. for many years our International Relations Committee has explored means of establishing a more formal relationship between the community of dairy scientists and technologists in the United States and those in other parts of the world.
