PT148 · S3 · Q9 There are many agricultural regions

This isn't giving us any sort of fact that makes the regions where we grow most of our pumpkins sound better than the region where we don't grow most of our pumpkins.

This potentially doesn't have any effect. After all, both the regions where we grow pumpkins and the regions where we don't both presumably have warm summer weather when the bees can pollinate the pumpkin crops. But to the extent that it's saying, "It's better to grow pumpkins where you have warm weather", it would only deepen the paradox, since it seems like the region where we grow most of our pumpkins is colder than the regions where we don't.

If more pumpkins were sold to consumers in the short growing season region (long, cold winters), that could work as an answer. We could say, "even though there's a risk of frost damage in these regions, we grow most of our pumpkins here because most pumpkin buyers live in these regions (it's easier to distribute the pumpkins, the shorter the distance from farm to consumer)." But this goes the opposite direction. We mysteriously grow most pumpkins in regions that have frost damage risk, even though most pumpkins are sold to people in the regions that don't have frost damage risk.

Given that seed production takes place in a greenhouse, it doesn't really matter what sort of climate it's done in. But this answer overall makes it feel more like the longer growing season regions (where we don't grow pumpkins) is where seed production happens. So that makes it more confusing that we don't grow pumpkins in those regions (we make the seeds there, and there's no risk of frost damage).
