    Is it true that marijuana is the most important export article of the Netherlands?

    Question #95399. Asked by author. (May 06 08 8:20 PM)

    		I would say no. My research compels me to suggest that the Netherlands' main export article is tulips.

    Nowadays the Netherlands is the world’s largest flower exporter. There are more than 7,5 billion tulip bulbs gathered in the country every year, and a great amount of them is sold abroad. Yulip bulbs are a major industry for the country.... The Netherlands export nine billion tulip bulbs every year.

    		Tulips is the trademark of the Netherlands, but is it really the main export article?

    The main Dutch companies are Phillips, Unilever and Shell, so I would have guessed something like electrical devices, chemical products, natural gas. Or other more 'prosaic' stuff. A hard one to research, this one.
