New Lily Variety Unveiled to Mark 50 Years of Vietnam-Netherlands Relations

In early November 2023, a working group from Lam Dong, Dong Thap, and Son La, flower farm owners, and scientists from Vietnamese scientific research and training facilities came to the Netherlands to work with Dutch partners in the floricultural research and training industry.

On this occasion, a new lily variety hybridized by Onings Holland Flowerbulbs was officially named Sutudo. For many years, Onings Holland Flowerbulbs has been in Vietnam, cooperating and exporting flower bulbs and efficiently supporting Vietnamese partners.

To celebrate 50 years of Vietnam-Netherlands diplomatic relations, the naming ceremony was performed by Ingrid Korving, Dutch Agricultural Counselor in Vietnam, and Vo Thi Ngoc Diep, Commercial Counselor, Dutch Embassy in Vietnam. Sutudo is expected to hit the market in 2026.

Vietnam-Netherlands cooperation, particularly in the sector of cultivating flowers and ornamental plants, has a firm base, opening up many opportunities in the future. The area for growing flowers, ornamental plants, and ornamental flowers in Vietnam is 45,000 hectares, with Lam Dong serving as the primary production area.
