Although, dairying is the most ancient occupation  established in the rural setting of
Bangladesh, its  development is unsatisfactory due to several problems. The  main
problems concern breeding, feeding, management,  diseases and marketing. The dairy
sector has also not  received adequate attention in respect of information and  research
with present policies and issues. National milk  production can only meet 13% of the
current milk  consumption. The demand for milk is growing at a faster  rate than supply
because of the rapid increase in  population, creating a widening imbalance between
demand  and supply. There is a need to have knowledge of the  existing demand, its
growth over time, and the existing  supply possibilities. There are also many types  of
information needed for proper functioning of markets. In  the light of such knowledge
it would be necessary to take  policy measures for providing strong institutional
support  to increase domestic production and reduce the imbalance  between supply
and demand. To address the industry’s  problems effectively, sources of market
failures and of  government policies in contributing to its poor performance  are
discussed in this paper.},
