Answer 2

In 2004, the leading pumpkin growing states in the U.S. (Illinois, California, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and New York) produced 998 million pounds of pumpkins worth about $100 million.

Answer 3

The U.S. pumpkin market is regarded as limited and seasonal. Pumpkins are grown primarily for processing with a small percentage grown for ornamental sales through you-pick farms, farmers’ market and retail sales. Total U.S. pumpkin production in 2005 was valued at $105.7 million. Top pumpkin production states are Illinois, California, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

According to the University of Illinois, 90 percent of the pumpkins grown in the United States are raised within a 90-mile radius of Peoria, Ill. Most pumpkins are processed into canned pumpkin and canned pie mix. Processing pumpkins have a comparable size and shape of a watermelon and a lighter colored shell.



The town of Morton, near Peoria in central Illinois, is the self-proclaimed Pumpkin Capital of the World. Morton is the location of a Libby’s® pumpkin processing plant owned by Nestlé Food Company, which cans more than 85 percent of the world’s pumpkin each year.

Pumpkins can range in size from less than one pound to more than 1,000 pounds. Miniature sized pumpkins weigh less than one pound and typically are used for decorative purposes. Pie pumpkins range in many sizes. The five to 10 pound pie pumpkin varieties are most often grown. Pumpkins in the 10 to 25 pound range are primarily used for jack-o-lanterns and can also be used for processing. Pumpkins above 25 pounds are called giant. Giant pumpkins typically range between 25 to 75 pounds in size.
