Japan imported NL crop ’09 lily bulbs 7% less than last year from Dec. to Mar.,
although increased in Dec. to fill up the lack of SH crop ’09.
Last couple of years, Japan have imported aprox. 56～58% of total quantity. Even if this year’s
quantity; 62.7 million pcs. were 55%, we expect total quantity might be max 114 million pcs,
Japan will decrease in this year again too. Most of Dutch exporters predict so.
Japan is still in hard situation.

There is greenhouse ; acreage is 1630 square meters with 6 independent rooms, Venlo type; so-called “Dutch right style” in Japan, also, cool-ware, warehouse, experimental room too. New bed system in our test greenhouseWe put “Super drain bed 85” developed by Japan Agricultural Assn (Zennou) as the planting bed in our test greenhouse. So, when we give steam disinfection not to all of the field but only to beds, it saves time and cost a lot. We manage the test growing by computer; irrigation, fertilizer, temperature, ,shading, open and close the windows, heating, cooling by mist, ventilation-fans, etc. |
