The pumpkin crop was almost wiped out this last year so canned pumpkin and other pumpkin products MAY not be available after Nov.
The report is just an observation for those who need to know every circumstance that may influence manufacturing. If pumpkins do tank for a year, that means for the next two years all pumpkin products will raise in price or be scarce until the pumpkins are fruitful again.
