荷兰马维里奇 Maveridge – 荷兰球茎育种与出口遍及南北半球

从 1994 年的一家专业苗圃做起

Maveridge International B.V. 是荷兰的球茎苗圃与出口企业，1994 年注册成立，位于北荷兰省的圣马尔滕（Sint Maarten）。公司的定位是做专业球茎苗圃：一边生产，一边出口，客户分两类——家庭花园，以及专业温室种植者。除了卖球茎，公司还向全球客户提供技术咨询，并在有需求时替第三方做销售与市场推广。

自有育种：把抗病放在第一位

公司有自己的育种与开发中心，郁金香、鸢尾和水仙的品种改良都在自家地块上做，为的是不断推出独有品种。育种方向从 2000 年起明确转向可持续发展：主攻对镰刀菌和病毒的抗性与耐受性。按公司的说法，化学药剂的使用量已经降下来了，目标是未来的作物做到不用化学药剂。苗圃里种的球茎，全部来自自家育种项目。

面向三类客户的出口结构

出口覆盖南北半球，既有直发客户，也走多家第三方合作伙伴。主要出口地包括美国、加拿大、英国、法国、瑞士、澳大利亚、新西兰、德国、匈牙利、台湾、以色列、意大利、葡萄牙和西班牙。按用途分成三类：一是花园用干球，客户是批发商、园艺产品进口商、目录与直销公司、花园中心和大型连锁卖场；二是切花生产用球，供批发商与温室切花种植者全年使用，球茎可做半处理或全处理；三是盆栽用球，供园艺批发商与温室盆栽种植者。此外还有针对特定节日的专项作物。

面向景观市场的品种线

公司为景观市场单独做了一条品种线，以郁金香、鸢尾和水仙为主，包括 Delight 系列、Spryng Break Mix、Paintbrush、Dafeng、Istanbul 与 Exotic Emperor 的杂交系、Tres Chic Festival 等。商标方面，公司持有 Amsterfarm、Amsterdam Tulip Farm、Blooming Colors、Instant Blooms、Natural Bulbs、Table Top Tulips、Spring-Pac 等概念与系列商标，以及 Baby Boomer、Blue Moon、Orange Monarch、Tete Deluxe 等品种商标，均已在册，未经书面许可不得使用。

认证、协会与可持续

公司自 2017 年起持有 MPS 认证，此后销往全球的产品都带这一认证，目前正把认证升级到 MPS Global-Gap。行业协会方面，公司参与了几个按品类划分的组织：Trendsetter 组织负责 Spryng 与各类 Delight 郁金香品种的生产、营销与销售；Spectrum 组织做独家香型水仙；Omniris 组织专做切花用的特色鸢尾；此外还有做水培托盘分销的 Holland Hydra，以及做郁金香新品种育种的 Tulip Creations。

Starting as a specialist nursery in 1994

Maveridge International B.V. is a Dutch bulb nursery and exporter, incorporated in 1994 and based in Sint Maarten, North Holland. The company positions itself as a specialised flowerbulb nursery — growing and exporting in one operation — with two customer groups: gardens, and professional greenhouse growers. Beyond bulbs it provides technical advice and counselling to customers worldwide, and on request offers third-party sales and marketing services.

In-house breeding with disease resistance first

The company runs its own breeding and development centre on site, improving tulips, irises and daffodils to keep producing exclusive varieties. Since 2000 the breeding programme has been directed squarely at sustainability, working on resistance and tolerance to fusarium and viruses. In the company’s own words it is already less chemical dependent, with the goal of becoming chemical free in future crops. Everything grown at the nursery comes from that in-house breeding programme.

Export built around three customer types

Shipping covers both the Northern and Southern hemispheres, going direct to customers as well as through several third-party partners. The main destinations include the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Hungary, Taiwan, Israel, Italy, Portugal and Spain. Products divide by use: dry sale bulbs for gardens, sold to wholesalers, horticultural importers, catalogue and direct marketing companies, garden centres and big box chains; half or fully treated bulbs for cut flower production, supplied year-round to wholesalers and greenhouse growers; and treated bulbs for pot plant production. Specialised holiday crops form a further line.

A variety range for the landscape market

For the landscape market the company has built a separate range, mainly tulips, irises and daffodils, including the Delight series, Spryng Break Mix, Paintbrush, Dafeng, the Istanbul and Exotic Emperor crosses, and Tres Chic Festival. On the trademark side it holds concept and series marks such as Amsterfarm, Amsterdam Tulip Farm, Blooming Colors, Instant Blooms, Natural Bulbs, Table Top Tulips and Spring-Pac, plus variety marks including Baby Boomer, Blue Moon, Orange Monarch and Tete Deluxe — all officially registered and not to be used without written permission.

Certification, associations and sustainability

The company has held MPS certification since 2017, and from that point all products sold worldwide carry it; it is now working on upgrading to MPS Global-Gap. It also belongs to several associations organised by product group: the Trendsetter group handles production, marketing and sales of Spryng and the Delight tulip varieties; the Spectrum group covers exclusive fragrant daffodils; the Omniris group specialises in distinctive iris varieties for the cut flower trade. Two further memberships are Holland Hydra, which distributes hydroponic trays, and Tulip Creations, a breeding and development company working on new tulip varieties.
