荷兰 图伯球茎出口公司 Tuberbulb Export B.V. – 南荷兰球茎出口遍及二十五国

分家出来的出口部

这家公司的名字带着一段旧账。图伯球茎（Tuberbulb Export B.V.）成立于 1990 年，那一年 Koninklijke Van Tubergen BV 决定结束出口业务、专心做零售市场。它原来的出口部门交给 Jan Boot 接手——他此前是 C.S. Weijers 的老板——装进一家新公司，起名 Tuberbulb Export BV，副题写着 all over the world。名字本身也是拼出来的：范图贝尔根是公司的出身，tuber 和 bulb 指的是球茎与块茎。

总部在希勒霍姆，位置在南荷兰省莱顿与哈勒姆之间那段球茎区里。同属 CSW 集团的还有 QFB Gardening 和 CSW Landscaping：一家开网店直接卖给消费者，另一家给绿化工程和市政绿化供球茎，还承接公共绿地的机械种植。

接手两笔业务

2010 年，公司接手了沃尔特·布洛姆（Walter Blom BV）的球茎贸易业务，在日本市场的份额由此上台阶。此后几年它把生意铺到加拿大、中国、韩国、泰国、新西兰、阿根廷、哥斯达黎加和智利，主要市场仍集中在亚洲和北美。2013 年 11 月，荷兰首相马克·吕特到球茎区访问，顺道来希勒霍姆这家公司看过一圈。

最近一笔交易在 2025 年 11 月 2 日公布：从 2026 年收获季起，公司接手范赞滕花卉球茎（Van Zanten Flowerbulbs）的夏季作物贸易业务。这家做了 164 年的老公司就此退出球茎生意，经验丰富的团队跟着过来，郁金香催花（tulpenbroei）方面的手艺也一并接手。总负责人 John Boot 把这称作两全其美。同一年早些时候，范赞滕把百合育种部门卖给了利斯的 Hobaho，百合贸易和新西兰的苗圃则转到波尔德伊克的 Onings Holland Flowerbulbs。

货品和目录

公司目录页把货品分成 150 多个类群，从 A 排到 Z，常见的有郁金香、水仙、风信子、唐菗蒲、番红花、贝母、朱顶红、大丽花、萱草和鸢尾等几十个属，另有大量宿根植物。数量公司自己前后不太一致：首页和目录正文写一万多个栽培品种，目录上方的宣传语写两千多个，英文公司介绍页写三千多个。

目录分春秋两季出版：秋季那本对应春季开花的品种，春季那本对应夏季开花的品种，站上写的是每两年发一轮。里面除学名外还写荷兰语俗名，标明花期、株高、种球大小并配图。客户分布在 25 个以上国家，批发商、零售商以及做公园和公共绿地的单位都有。包装、发货日期、选品和运输方式都可以照客户的意思安排；遇到目录里没有的品种，公司也愿意帮着去找。

出货前的检验和检疫

出口这一段要走的程序写得很具体。球茎和宿根植物常被要求完全脱土出货，产品发货前要洗过，再由球茎检验局（BKD）或 NAK 园艺这样的独立机构检验，过关之后才签发国际运输要用的植物检疫证书。有些目的国还要进口许可，公司代办后递交荷兰食品与商品管理局（NVWA）审定。

公司也做新品种的开发，每年跑种植户和育种人的地方看新货，测过之后才决定要不要推向市场，其中不少独家品种只在自家能买到。

CSW 集团、认证和屋顶上的光伏

公司在库肯霍夫有自己的展示花园，还和 QFB Gardening 一起在园内经营两处销售点。认证方面持有 MPS-Florimark 良好贸易规范，讲的是做事时对人、对环境都要讲规矩；行业组织里是 Anthos 和 EVO-FENEDEX 的成员。

环保这块写得具体：2018 和 2021 两年，公司在屋顶装了共 2400 块 Solarwatt 双面玻璃太阳能板，一年约发 46 万千瓦时，正好抵掉公司预估的年用电量；常规灯具几乎全部换成 LED，能效标为 A。人这边按行业的老员工安排，年满后可以少上 20% 的班、拿 90% 的工资，把经验留在公司；公司还参与 Groen Onderwijscentrum 的 Green Unplugged 项目，带中学生认识种花这行。

An Export Division of Its Own

The name carries an old account with it. Tuberbulb Export B.V. was set up in 1990, the year Koninklijke Van Tubergen BV decided to end its export work and concentrate on the consumer market. The export division passed to Jan Boot, then director and owner of C.S. Weijers, who put it into a new company called Tuberbulb Export BV, with all over the world as its motto. The name itself is a compound: Van Tubergen is where the business came from, while tuber and bulb refer to what it trades.

The head office sits in Hillegom, in the bulb district between Leiden and Haarlem in the province of South Holland. Two sister companies share the CSW Group with it: QFB Gardening, which sells straight to consumers through its own web shops, and CSW Landscaping, which supplies bulbs to landscapers and municipal green services and carries out mechanical planting in public space.

Two Acquisitions

In 2010 the company took over the flower bulb trading business of Walter Blom BV, which lifted its share of the Japanese market. Over the years that followed it built out its trade in Canada, China, South Korea, Thailand, New Zealand, Argentina, Costa Rica and Chile, with Asia and North America remaining the main markets. In November 2013 the Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte visited the flower bulb region and called in at the company in Hillegom as well.

The most recent deal was announced on 2 November 2025: from the 2026 crop onwards the company takes over the summer bulb trade of Van Zanten Flowerbulbs. That 164-year-old firm is leaving the bulb business, its experienced team comes along, and so does the know-how on tulip forcing. Managing director John Boot calls it the best of two worlds. Earlier the same year Van Zanten sold its lily breeding division to Hobaho in Lisse, while the lily trade and the New Zealand nursery went to Onings Holland Flowerbulbs in Poeldijk.

The Range and the Catalogues

The catalogue page splits the range into more than a hundred and fifty groups, running alphabetically from A to Z. Common genera include tulips, narcissus, hyacinths, gladioli, crocuses, fritillaries, amaryllis, dahlias, daylilies and irises, with a large perennial range on top. The company is not consistent about its own numbers: the home page and the catalogue text speak of more than ten thousand cultivars, the catalogue heading says two thousand and the English company page says three thousand.

The catalogue comes in an autumn edition for the varieties that flower in spring and a spring edition for those that flower in summer; the site says customers receive a full catalogue every two years. Besides the botanical names they give the Dutch common names and list flowering period, plant height, bulb size and pictures. Customers are spread over more than twenty-five countries, wholesalers and retailers as well as firms working on parks and public greenery. Packing, delivery date, choice of varieties and shipping method are arranged around what the customer wants, and where a variety is not in the catalogue the company offers to track it down.

Inspection and Paperwork Before Shipment

The export side is described in detail. Bulbs and perennials are often required to travel completely soil free, the goods are washed before they go, and independent bodies such as the Bloembollenkeuringsdienst (BKD) or NAK Tuinbouw inspect them; only after approval do they get the official phytosanitary certificate needed for international shipping. Some destination countries also want an import permit, which the company applies for and submits to the Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA).

The company also develops new varieties, visiting growers and breeders each year to look at new stock and testing it before deciding what to put on the market. A good number of the exclusive varieties are available only through Tuberbulb Export.

The CSW Group, Certification and Solar on the Roof

The company has its own show garden at Keukenhof and, together with QFB Gardening, runs two sales points on the grounds. On certification it holds MPS-Florimark Good Trade Practice, which is about trading in a way that is accountable to people and to the environment; in the trade bodies it belongs to Anthos and EVO-FENEDEX.

The sustainability page is specific: in 2018 and 2021 the company put up 2,400 Solarwatt glass-glass solar panels between them, producing some 460,000 kWh a year, which comes to about what the company forecasts it will use; nearly all conventional lighting was replaced with LED and the energy label is A. On staff the sector scheme for older workers applies, 20 per cent less work for 90 per cent of the salary, so that the knowledge stays in the company; the company also takes part in the Green Unplugged project of Groen Onderwijscentrum, which introduces schoolchildren to growing flowers.
