which country is the largest producer of pumpkins in the world

China is the largest producer of pumpkins in the world, contributing by far the biggest share to global pumpkin output.

Quick Scoop

  • Top producer: China is widely recognized as the world’s leading pumpkin producer, with estimates in recent years generally around 8–9 million tons annually.
  • Share of world production: Various agricultural datasets and analyses note that China alone accounts for a very large portion of global pumpkin (and related squash/gourd) production, clearly ahead of all other countries.
  • Next in line: After China, countries like India, Russia, Ukraine, and the United States typically appear among the top producers, but none come close to China’s total harvest.
