"Most pumpkins currently on the market in south China come from Myanmar and Laos. The current purchase price is around 4-5 yuan [0.60-0.74 USD] per 0.5 kg with retail prices on e-commerce platforms around 8-10 yuan [1.19-1.49 USD] per 0.5 kg. Of course, the product quality, production volume, and price all vary in different production areas for different product varieties. The price of domestic pumpkins is relatively low." This is according to Tian Zhaoliang of Shandong Changle Shiai Agricultural Development Co., Ltd.

Once the seeds have been planted and grown to maturity, these top-quality pumpkins will be available in every large market in China."
