Two founders. One vision. A bridge between continents.
BYS stands for Barkın Yürik and Okan Sarıtoprak — the founders of BYS Flora International, a Netherlands-based company built on a tissue-culture production partnership with HasBiotech in Antalya, with a single ambition: to become a leading global supplier of ornamental plants.

okan@bysflorainternational.comThe bridge in our mark is not decorative — it is operational.
Between the nurseries that grow the plants and the buyers who need them. One standard, whoever is on either side of it.
Company Timeline
Tissue culture laboratory partnership established with HasBiotech, Antalya
Trade and supply accounts open · BYS Flora International B.V. in registration in the Netherlands
Science First
Our range starts in the laboratory. Tissue-culture origin is documented by our lab partner, and virus-indexing results for that material are available on request.
Crossroads Advantage
We buy where the growing is good and the logistics are short. Our tissue-culture partner, HasBiotech in Antalya, sits at the crossroads of Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia — fast air and road links put finished plants on three continents in days, not weeks. Every grower we add is judged on the same two things: how they grow, and how quickly their plants can reach a buyer in condition.
International Standards
We are working towards the certifications European buyers ask for, MPS-ABC and GlobalG.A.P. among them. We list only what we hold, with its number, and today that is the phytosanitary side.

BYS Flora International supplies ornamental plants to wholesalers and garden centres worldwide, sourced from growers we verify. Our tissue-culture lines come from HasBiotech's laboratory, which works to documented laboratory protocols, with virus-indexing results on request, and every consignment is inspected at origin before it ships.
