The last bulb fields of this year
In the Netherlands, flower bulbs are grown on 22,000 ha. These bulbs are produced in different regions. North Holland is by far the most important production area, with the Northern Sand Area and West Friesland. South Holland with its bulb region has been an important place for flower bulbs - especially hyacinths - for centuries, while Flevoland is a fast-growing production area. The weather conditions have an important influence on the production result and therefore also on the number of bulbs that come on the market every year. Rough estimates have shown that approximately 8.5 billion flower bulbs are produced in the Netherlands, with tulips, lily, hyacinth, daffodil, gladiolus, dahlia and crocus as leaders.
As a result of the Coronavirus outbreak, trading companies expect
in the flower bulb sector up to 160 million euros in damage.
