When many industries are having a hard time, it is the opposite for those who grow tulips.
Demand has increased during the pandemic.
- When people can not travel abroad, you buy tulips to do well at home, believes Andreas Nilsson who is one of the co-owners of the company Målsta blomor, which is Sweden's northernmost tulip cultivation in greenhouses.

Delivers throughout Norrland
One million tulips are sold in Sweden daily during the tulip season and some of the tulips distributed in Norrland grow in the greenhouse in Målsta.
- We deliver all the way up to Kiruna, says Andreas Nilsson.
Two million tulips - everything is sold
Since each tulip requires a tulip bulb purchased from the Netherlands a year ago and then imported, it is not possible to meet the increased demand by producing more tulips in Målsta.
But the two million tulips you raise during the tulip season, you currently have no problem selling.
The price is raised
The great demand for tulips that prevails has at the same time meant that the prices for tulip bulbs have been raised, but this will not affect consumers until possibly next season, says Andreas Nilsson.
- It is only then that it can be a question of higher prices for the tulips, he explains.
