Why so many acreas ? Flowers (tulips/or what) for sales/export ?

The farmers are not interested in the flowers, but in the bulbs! When the tulips are in fulll bloom, they are 'beheaded' with special machines. The flowers go to the rubbish dump, the remaining green leaves cause the 'mother' bulb to grow 'baby' bulbs. Those bulbs are sold all over the world.

And what do they do with these bulbs ?
