We have the answers to your questions
The better procurement agents can answer these questions, the better they can buy in products of the desired quality at the right price, and fill their company storerooms with safe, legal raw materials. The best foundation for good decisions is reliable data. In the absence of such, rumours abound and poor decisions may be made.
Professional background
Alwera AG (seed production) and its subsidiaries Estyria (foodstuffs), Partners in Bio (organic foods), Saatzucht Gleisdorf (cultivation), Milteco (food technologists) and Ascon3 (harvesting technology) form Europe’s biggest pool of expert knowledge when it comes to pumpkin seeds. Due to the fact that the industry often suffers from fake news reports, we decided to publish a special report once every year dedicated specifically to the pumpkin seed market. The report aims to provide readers with brief, relevant and concise information in an attractive format, addressing issues that are of interest to procurement agents.
We analyse cultivation areas and availability forecasts in Europe – with results that can sometimes surprise even the experts. We take a detailed look at the course of vegetation, painting a picture of the situation in the most important regions and then showing how contract prices are developing. Last but not least, the 2021 Estyria Pumpkin Seed Report reports on current challenges in product safety, provides information on the latest trade restrictions and explains which varieties are trending.

Traditional Styrian
stamp press process
While modernity has brought progress in many areas, the traditional Styrian stamp press process is still the best way of making pumpkin seed oil. The main difference between this and other pressing methods is that we work with open roasting pans. At our plant, people check when the pumpkin seeds are perfectly roasted and so will yield the very best oil. This enables our experienced oil millers to produce the pumpkin seed oil that has won more prizes than any other – and which as a result of this type of pressing retains all the natural constituents. The untreated oil is not filtered; the particles that make it cloudy settle naturally when the oil is left to rest.
