Dairy Technology : Job Prospects & Career Options
Dairy Technology is a challenging career which offers enormous prospects
for trained professionals. There are now more than 400 dairy plants in
the country and many Dairy equipment manufacturers.
Openings for a dairy technologist are available in both the public and
the private sector. They can find job in dairy farms, cooperatives,
rural banks, milk product processing and manufacturing industries. Quality
control departments also recruit dairy technologists. A large number of
dairy technologists also start their own business such as small-scale
milk plants, creamery, ice-cream units etc or work as consultants. A consultant,
however, needs several years of working experience in dairy farms to be
successful.
Besides there are opportunities for teaching as well as Research and development
which is another growing area, crucial for the dairy industry.
