The end of the twelvemonth is draw near , but are the agriculturist hit the remnant of their fiscal possibilities ? No , generally not , according to the income estimation for 2018 by Statistics Netherlands and Wageningen Economic Research . The average income from all types of agricultural and horticultural business fall sharply liken to 2017 . This also in particular use to gardening , primarily due to rising price . At the same time , it also appears that in gardening still more money is earned than anywhere else . Income from company , x 1,000 euros per twelvemonth ( unpaid annual work whole )
Recently the arithmetical expert from Statistics Netherlands and Agrimatie presented the new material body in The Hague . You really shouldlook through ityourself , but the general tendency is already mentioned . The income fell for the second yr in a row . In glasshouse veggie this decline was a wad sharper than among the flower and plant agriculturalist , particularly due to bad Leontyne Price . That is not the case in floriculture , with the orchidaceous plant as the main exclusion . But even here , as data and sector specialist Greenhouse Horticulture at Wageningen Economic Research Jan Benninga pointed out , there are elision .
Note : The Belgian statistics agency Statbel has made a similar psychoanalysis of Belgian agriculture and horticulture . you’re able to find these figureshere . Income in 2018 x 1,000 euro per yr ( unpaid yearly study unit)Pot plantsThe intermediate turnover per company is gauge at 2,900,000 euros and has risen in 2018 by more than 9 % compared to 2017 . This is mainly because of an increment in scale ( + 6 % ) .
On balance , up to and admit October 2018 a 2.2 % lower toll has been achieved compare to the same period in 2017 . genus Phalaenopsis , with 27 % of the full indoor plants turnover at Royal Flora Holland by far the largest production , has a hard year in 2018 . The trend of lower prices already depart at the remainder of 2017 and is due to overproduction . This overproduction was because of expansion of the acreage and intensification of polish . In a market spot with overproduction , the humbled tone generally lessen first in term of damage establishment . In the subject of Phalaenopsis , these are the so - called one - branch plant , the plants with one blossom branch . The extend red-hot summer meant that the pct of one - offset plants was relatively high , when the nursery temperature could not be maintain at an acceptable level . This was the intellect that differences between companies have been mellow in 2018 . In addition , there was less market requirement due to the hot atmospheric condition .
On the whole , the other houseplant have make a slightly in high spirits cost in 2018 than in 2017 , with relatively upright prices for unripe plants for the second consecutive year . Products with a positive terms growth were cacti and succulents ( 15 % ) and Zamioculcas ( 6 % ) . It should be noted that 2017 was a very good year in terms of pricing . Products with poor pricing in 2018 were pot rose ( -9.3 % ) and muckle hyacinth ( -11.8 % ) . Only a substantial part of the supply of kalanchoe was not sold ( 1 % ) .
The bedding plant marketplace is a seasonal market , and demand is highly pendent on the weather . This was also quite noticeable in 2018 . The early fountain was wet and stale until the end of March , after which the conditions were all right . The early products violet and primula have also done poorly in terms of cost ( violets -18 % ) , the other products did well . Often the pattern is that when violets have a bad year , the other bedding plants also have a unsound twelvemonth . That was not the case in 2018 . On mediocre , for all bedding plants the price was 4 % higher than in 2017 with a 1 % lower supply . No less than 7 % of the purple supplying was run through . Income change between 2017 and 2018 x 1,000 euro per class ( volunteer one-year work unit of measurement )
geld flowersThe turnover of the average cut flower ship’s company in 2018 compared to 2017 increase from 1,472,000 euros to 1,695,000 euros ( + 15 % ) . This is the result of an growth in weighing machine ( + 9 % ) and an overall higher price at a lower supply .
The market for thinned flowers in 2018 was characterized by an overall 3.7 % low supply via Royal FloraHolland ( with 98.5 % of sales the largest auction in the Netherlands ) and a 1.3 % higher cost . The large product in acreage and upset , the spraying chrysanthemum , including Santinis , has had a good year in 2018 in term of price , with a 9.7 % high price . The supplying of chrysanthemums in 2018 was 3.2 % lower than in 2017 , despite a 12.1 % gain in land area ( Statistics Netherlands estimated 370 ha for 2018 ) . For disbud chrysanthemum , price in 2018 were 4.5 % lower than in 2017 , with a 1.5 % high-pitched supply .
The second product in terms of turnover rate , the tulip , achieved a 2.9 % lower price in 2018 through October with a 6.3 % lower supply . The third crop in terminus of turnover , the rosiness , achieved in 2018 a 2.1 % low-toned price than in 2017 , with a 1.5 % increase in supply . Regarding the other cut flower , the positive outlier in terms of price formation are Cymbidium ( 9.5 % ) , Tanacetum ( 9 % ) , Iris ( 8 % ) , Helianthus ( 7 % ) and Bouvardia ( 7 % ) . Also deserving mentioning is the enlargement of Eustoma with 19 % more supply . The price of this ware , however , cut down by 5.3 % . It seems that the Eustoma food market is more or less saturated . Another spectacular riser pipeline is Limonium with in 2018 a 21 % increase in volume compared to 2017 , which was come with by a 7 % lower Leontyne Price .
Effect long warm summertime on the marketCharacteristic for 2018 has been the prolonged teetotal lovesome summer in Western Europe . On the one hand , there is generally little demand for peak during warm outdoor conditions , on the other hand conditions have been hard to produce heyday of an satisfactory character . As far as demand is concerned , the total loudness sold was 3.7 % lower than in 2017 . However , in 2018 a lot of the supplying ( 1.8 % ) has been run for through ( ordinarily this is around 0.5 % of the supplying ) . The running through was highest with Gerbera ( 9 % ) , Alstroemeria ( 8 % ) and Anthurium ( 2 % ) .
Only in October did the requirement pick up again . Temperatures higher than 30 level Celsius in greenhouses not only lead to broken product at that clip , but also to a light yield in term of weight . Especially in perennial crop where the same crop is harvested for a farsighted time , such as rose and Cymbidium , the extremely live conditions affect the production negatively until November . This has an gist on the recollective - full term supplying and therefore also on the cost .
free energy supplyThe yr 2018 has so far been a remunerative twelvemonth for supplying electricity to the public grid , present the mellow electrical energy prices and favorable ratio between gas monetary value and electricity price ( twinkle spreadhead ) . This resulted in an average higher tax revenue of 36,500 euro from energy per company ( + 50 % compared to 2017 ) .
price importantly reduce incomeThe 2nd major movement in horticulture as a whole is that costs are rising sharply and the average income is therefore decreasing .
Besides vigour ( in high spirits natural gas and electricity prices ) one has to guess about Labor Department and plant stuff . Jan told us that for reduce labor toll in refinement and on the cultivation story , pile of investments are being made in pot and placing robot that are already common in container cultivation . raiser are doing everything to preclude high task costs .
As far as the plant textile is concerned , the increase in costs is in the main due to charging the gamey labor and energy costs to the raiser . In finical for the orchids also a further intensification ( curt duration ) of the refinement and cultivation in smaller pot sizes ( more plants per m2 ) roleplay a role .
Interestingly , grant to Jan , agriculturalist are calculating and more often come to the end that they should do the propagation themselves . This can have a multitude of effects , on the market and on quality . Initially , the raiser will play it good and circularise more than he take . Then he has a margin , he has the possibility to select the salutary 100 % and , for example , throw away the remaining 10 % . But on the other hand , the harvest protective covering product package is becoming progressively limited , which jeopardizes his cultivation but also the export . For example , in the UK the white rainfly is on the quarantine inclination , but not in the Netherlands . Because the Cartesian product to take preventive action against this are take off from the agriculturist , his sales will be at risk . Clean propagation material can probably part obviate such problems , but that becomes more difficult to control with in - business firm propagation . Finally , the ever - increase grading - up implies the intrinsic risk that , if things go ill-timed , the consequences will be greater .
