The objective of this study was to clarify the categorization and recent development of food industry cluster focusing on the cluster for innovation. Concretely, the following preliminary study was conducted: (1) the concept of cluster is summarized by using previous studies focused on the industrialization of the senary sector or commerce and industry and so on; (2) based on the previous study , we classified the cluster into eight patterns. Based on these results, we investigated the case study in dairy farm and agricultural machinery company focusing on the cluster of research and development/practical application type. Result of the survey indicated that there were two particularly important suggestions/considerations regarding the establishment of the cluster for innovation: By introducing the milking robot system, the side job is possible until about one hundred dairy cows, and a system that considers dairy production flow, such as barn structure and feed feeding.
