The exportation of lily bulbs , especially to China , was problematic in 2018 and 2019 . In 2020 , the COVID-19 pandemic shore right on top of this . In the meanwhile , the lily sphere has recovered , but it is crucial to stay alert . you could show all about it in this update from Rabobank .
convalescence after export problemsIn 2018 and 2019 there were many problems with the export of lily bulbs , especially with exports to China . Some buyers there had placed too large orders with Dutch exporter and run into payment problems . In 2020 , the orbicular problems of COVID-19 were added to that , including mellow freight costs . In 2019 and 2020 , the ( Dutch ) supply adjusted to this situation and now the sector is slowly but surely recovering . The alien demand for lily bulb has stay at a good level during COVID and the pre - sales for 2022 look promising . Lily electric light growers ( growers of cut flowers ) are also sustain a good price for the flowers . The average Leontyne Price at Royal FloraHolland for lily arise last year by around 20 % compare to 2020 . The demand for lily bulbs by Dutch cultivator can therefore be maintained . But everything has a downside .
The country with deliverable bulb in 2021 has increased about 10 % from 3,787 hectare in 2020 to 4,175 hectares in 2021 ( informant : BKD ) . Because cultivation results of the lilies in 2021 were below average , the consequences of this area increase were not yet seeable . Finally , the Dutch lily sphere leads the world with 85 % of the spheric supply . bod 1 shows the supply equipoise for the lily sphere . An increase in the cultivated field in the Netherlands therefore straight affects the supply on the world securities industry . This makes Dutch companies in the lily sphere each other ’s biggest rival .

Peaks and troughs in lily incandescent lamp yieldsThe worldwide demand for lily bulbs is reasonably stable . Because the acreage of lily bulb can be elaborate rapidly thanks to the cheap propagation with scale , overproduction apace looms large . Entrepreneurs can let the output raise relatively tight by outsourcing a part to growers with arable crops and open field vegetables . The other agency round is also potential of trend , as a result of which the provision of lily bulbs will quickly shrink . The supply fluctuates , while the need is static . This causes peaks and troughs in the paying back . As a solvent , the gainfulness of lily farms varies tremendously from twelvemonth to class . The difference is also triggered by the difference in cultivated varieties both within and between the various groups of lilies ( Asiatics , LAs , Orientals and OTs ) . Finally , there are different monetary value for energy and fertiliser at farm that cause departure in returns . lily in the futureThe lily sector has recover well after a regretful period , but that is no reason for celebration . First of all , the sphere must find an answer to the high usage of chemical crop auspices in bulb finish . In addition , the disposable income in various European countries is decreasing due to the current inflation . As a result , the leverage of flowers may minify in the foresightful run , since flower cut-rate sale respond quite powerfully to increases or decreases in income . However , lily agriculturalist in China , Vietnam and the United States are presently able to deal their flowers well , so demand for in effect lily bulbs will remain strong there for the time being .
