While the Netherlands can export potted orchids to neighboring European Union nations, Taiwan is further removed from its markets and faces much higher shipping costs. Consequently, it has focused on the export of seedlings, of which it sells about 12 million per annum.
荷蘭以鄰近歐盟國家為市場，採「盆花」型態銷售，台灣則基於盆花體積龐大、運費高昂，向以「蘭苗」外銷為主力，年銷量約 1,200 萬株。
