'There has been' + year
Hello, everybody. Please, consider the next two sentences.
In the past several years, there has been increasing interest in bananas. The foundation of the World Society for Bananas in 2010 supports this claim.
Is the combination between 'there has been' and 'foundation... in 2010' (a particular year) wrong?
Thank you!!!

I don't see anything inconsistent in that combination. However, for other reasons I think I would prefer this: In the past several years, there has been increasing interest in bananas. The fact that the World Society for Bananas was founded in 2010 supports this claim.
