Founded in 2012, AIB aims to boost banana consumption in France. Indeed, with an estimated net consumption of 550 000 tonnes / year, around 8.6 kg / capita / year, France is a banana under-consuming country, compared to the European average of 11.5 kg / capita / year in 2015.

The AIB's objectives are to increase awareness of bananas to consumers, to better preserve the quality of bananas in logistics from the receiving dock to the final consumer and to better highlight the product in the selling points.

It brings together the following professional families of the banana industry:

ASSOBAN (Banana Producers Association of the French West Indies)
CSIF's Banana division (French Union Chamber of fruits and vegetables' importers)
UFMB (French Union of banana ripeners)
UNCGFL (National Union of Fruits and Vegetables' Wholesale Trade)
