It was established in 1993 with the financial and technical assistance of the Danish International Development Agency, DANIDA. BAIL is located in Wangchutaba, 12km from the capital, Thimphu.

The farmers in the western part of the country are the target beneficiaries of the project.
The company is wholly owned by the Royal Government of Bhutan and governed by Board of Directors, headed by a chairman. The Managing Director is the functional head of the company.
