The seventh edition of the Tulip Trade Event will take place March 18 to 20, 2026, in the Netherlands.
Nine companies — P. Aker, Boots Flowerbulbs, BOT Flowerbulbs, Haakman Flowerbulbs, Holland Bulb Market, P. Nelis & zoon’s, Nord Lommerse, VWS Flowerbulbs and Jan de Wit en Zonen — will open their doors to give visitors a comprehensive overview of developments in the tulip sector.
As in previous editions, trade is at the heart of the event. Exporters and breeders mainly present assortments that are available, giving visitors a realistic impression of the market offering. Participants use these days to present new products, discuss market developments and explore current topics.
The event will focus on issues currently affecting the sector, including gall mites, rising bulb prices and other market developments.
Sustainability is also playing an increasingly important role. Following trends in floriculture, attention to certification is growing, including FSI compliance. This involves not only environmental measures, but also social aspects within the supply chain. For the tulip sector, this means aligning with international expectations and taking new steps toward more transparent and sustainable production.
After increasing interest from participants on the event returning to an annual format, organizers are discussing the possibility and expect a possible return to an annual edition starting next year.
