> whilst the netherlands grow mostly flowers. 38 km² of flowers in glasshouses and 272 km² of flowers on open ground. Total agricultural land use is 18163 km², 11815 km² of which is for growing grass and fodder, most of the remaining 6347 km² is food for human consumption, dominated by potatoes and grain. So not even 3%. We do not grow mostly flowers.

The flowers, however, are overrepresented in most satistics of production and export measured by value - there's a world of difference in the harvest value from an acre of wheat and an acre of roses.
