The Tulip Trade Event once again took place at Haakman Flowerbulbs B.V. For three days, from 18 to 20 March 2026, we held open days together with other exporters in the Netherlands. This has made the Tulip Trade Event a colourful showcase for tulip cultivation. Over the course of three days, visitors could see the entire range in bloom, learn about emerging trends and cultivation methods, and catch up with their business contacts.

During the Tulip Trade Event 2024, we welcomed visitors from all over the world to Haakman Flowerbulbs BV. Nearly 250 different tulip varieties were on display, offering a colourful overview of our range in full bloom.
Visitors were also given a tour of our modern forcing facility, where around 70 million tulips are forced per season. Here, they could see the Falcon bulb planting robots by Havatec in action, which plant tulip bulbs into crates fully automatically. In addition, we showcased the automatic Furora bunching machines by Bercomex, which grade and bunch tulips quickly and accurately.
Visitors were also able to take a closer look at the lighting in our modern forcing facility, supplied by Green Simplicity, part of the GreenV group. GreenV delivers integrated solutions for professional greenhouse horticulture worldwide, and with Green Simplicity’s lighting we can provide our tulips with the right conditions throughout the forcing process. Our customers and visitors had the opportunity to see the lighting in operation, and our own team was on hand to answer their questions about it.
Of course, there was plenty of time for enjoyable conversations about tulips and flower bulbs. We look back on a successful event and would like to thank everyone who visited us.

We will announce the exact dates soon. If you have any questions in the meantime, we are always happy to help, and you are always welcome to stop by.
Tulip cultivation in the Netherlands takes centre stage for three days during the Tulip Trade Event! From 20 to 22 March 2019, we are hosting joint open days together with other exporters and breeders in the Netherlands. This has established the Tulip Trade Event as a vibrant showcase for the tulip industry. In just three days, you can see the entire range in bloom, discover the latest trends and emerging cultivation methods, and catch up with your business contacts.
Over the past three years, interest from both Dutch and international visitors has grown steadily. Because so many participating companies are located close together, you can get a comprehensive update on the tulip trade in a short amount of time. Visiting from abroad? It is easy to combine visits to several companies. For more information, please visit the Tulip Trade Event website.
This year, we are showcasing more than 250 different varieties. It is also a time for celebration, as we are marking our 80th anniversary this year! Opening hours are from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

During the Tulip Trade Event, tulips suitable for forcing will be on display for three days in the show greenhouses of participating tulip exporters. The Tulip Trade Event takes place from 30 March to 1 April 2016. The idea is that each participant sets up at least 100 m² of show space at their own premises, while creating a shared look and feel across all locations. The ever-changing range of tulips will be on full display.
