Abstract
The lily (Lilium L.) is one of the most important crops in the flower bulb industry. Lilies are used worldwide as cut flowers, as pot plants or garden plants. With an area of about 3900 hectares (CBS 1996), The Netherlands is the world leading country in the production of lily bulbs, followed by the United States and Japan. In The Netherlands approximately one billion bulbs are produced annually and 65% of the bulbs is exported (CBS 1996), mainly for cut flower production. The remaining 35% is used for year round flower production in The Netherlands. Most of the flowers produced in The Netherlands are exported, with an economic value of approximately 300 million guilders (CBS 1996).
