The All Island Dairy Association (AIDA) was formed in February 2017 under the aegis of the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce, the leading business chamber in Sri Lanka. The Association was incorporated in May 2018 as a Company Limited by Guarantee registered under the provisions of the Companies Act No 7 of 2007.
