Pumpkin fruits are a valuable food product and are the primary source of carbohydrates, vitamins, essential oils, mineral salts, and phytoncides necessary for the normal functioning of the human body. In recent years, the demand for pumpkin products has been increasing. According to FAO data, 26.5 million tons of pumpkin fruits are grown worldwide, with the leading countries being China (7.8 million tons), India (5.1 million tons), Russia (1.22 million tons), Ukraine (1.21 million tons), and the USA (1.0 million tons). In 2025, the total area under pumpkin cultivation as a primary crop in Uzbekistan was 8.3 thousand hectares, with a gross harvest of 156.4 thousand tons and a yield of 206.3 c/ha.
