Almost 80 Percent Of The World’s Flower Bulbs Come From The Netherlands!
The majority of which are tulips, making it the world’s leading tulip exporter.
In 2017 the tulip industry is expected to hit 2 million blooms for the first time,
grown alongside millions of other blooms, all primarily for export (around 90 percent).
Thousands of people flock to see the beautiful fields as they grow;
Haarlem is home to many commercial fields as well as a Flower Parade and Keukenhof park,
which display hundreds of flower varieties.
All new tulips varities are recorded by the Koninklijke Algemeene Vereeniging voor Bloembollencultuur (KAVB),
which lists more than 8,000 types.
