With Halloween fast approaching the pumpkin market should be going well, but as with most of the crops in the UK the weather has put a damper it. According to David Bowman, one of the biggest pumpkin growers in the UK, volumes are down and colour is not what it should be, the sizes are also a bit on the small side.
One UK marketer says that demand is poor, even at this time of the year because predictions of a bad season hiked prices up early on, also says the sizes are small but the price has now levelled to around the same as last year.
