Dutch-Filipino firm Phinl Corp. has launched Asia’s first and only fully-contained and computer-controlled indoor hydroponic tulip farm in the country.
With a capacity to produce up to 6,000 stems per batch and room for further expansion, Phinl aims to meet the increasing demand for high-quality tulips in the country.
Each stem is grown locally and freshly harvested in the country to deliver to Filipino tulip lovers. The facility directly provides 42 local jobs, with the potential for technology transfer, upskilling, and further growth as the company expands production in the coming years.
The project located in Maddela, Quirino sources its tulip bulbs from the Netherlands and/or New Zealand and are stored in a cold storage facility to ensure optimal preservation.
Phinl’s Tulip TukTuk, a fully converted and customized Dutch tulip cart, sells the flowers at P295 per stem.
