ip industry in the U.S. Bloomia nurtured over 75 million tulip stems in 2024. Bloomia operates from three strategically positioned locations in the United States, the Netherlands, and South Africa, and also has a 30% interest in a greenhouse business in Chile.

Bloomia operates greenhouses to hydroponically grow tulips at its United States and South Africa locations. The Company has invested in automation in its U.S. greenhouse in recent years that has increased production efficiency. Bloomia has historically sourced tulip bulbs from producers in the Netherlands, Chile, and New Zealand, which provides for year-round supply. Bulbs from the Southern Hemisphere are generally used from the end of August to early December, with the Northern Hemisphere bulbs used the remainder of the year.

In the United States, Bloomia has established business relationships with prominent retailers. A small number of mass-market retailers in the U.S. have historically accounted for more than 99% of Bloomia’s total annual sales. Bloomia aims to offer premium tulip stems, the result of sourcing larger bulbs, that have a longer shelf life than imported stems. Growing tulip stems domestically allows for higher margins because the freight costs for importing bulbs by sea have been substantially less than the costs associated with importing stems by air.

In the Netherlands, Bloomia’s office facilitates the sourcing of bulbs, conditioning to prepare bulbs for planting, and shipping of bulbs to its United States and South Africa facilities.

In South Africa, Bloomia’s wholly owned subsidiary operates a greenhouse that has produced an average of approximately 3.5 million tulip stems per year over the last five years. The facility is capable of growing tulips hydroponically year-round and sells the majority of tulip stems to one retailer.
