Future developments in milk production and consumption until the end of the century and the gradual but steady changes in the structure of the dairy industry since the 1950s are discussed. The decline in herd numbers and corresponding increase in herd size are considered and the yield potential predicted. Hopes of increasing consumption of milk and its products on the Continent and the need to expand the market for milk and dairy products is stressed.
