cheaper than the yearly average · dearer · figures in % · no quotes in that month (season or data gap). Monthly averages of each series against its yearly average, after removing the long-term trend such as inflation; median across series and markets of the country, years with at least 10 months of quotes.
The forecasts extend each series’ own seasonal pattern; they do not know about this year’s weather, harvests, policy or currency moves. Use the range, not only the central figure, and do not base trading, purchasing or credit decisions on them alone.
Of 20 pumpkin price series with a forecast, 18 point higher and 2 lower or flat by the end of the forecast; the median series points to a rise (+15.8%). The forecasts repeat what the season usually does and are recalculated daily (data of 13 Nov 2026).
