Taylor, D.O.
The development of the beef and dairy industry in the Caribbean can counter the unemployment problem, generate income and help to reduce the balance of payment problem which plagues the region. A dairy and beef industry must be financially and economically viable for its continued success. Selection of a suitable production system to suit the land available for dairy or beef production, availability of experienced and/or adequately trained personnel at all levels, proper marketing system which will facilitate the smooth and timely movement of farm inputs to the farm and beef and milk products from farm to the consumer is necessary and the development of a vibrant food processing industry which will also produce by products for livestock feed are the main preconditions identified for the development of a beef and dairy industry in the Caribbean.
