Difficulty sourcing authentic Caribbean pumpkin seeds for home gardening

Home gardeners and diaspora communities struggle to find genuine West Indian or Caribbean pumpkin seeds locally, forcing them to rely on unreliable online sources, incorrect seed varieties, or expensive international shipping. Current solutions fail because seed suppliers don't stock regional varieties, seed authenticity is unverifiable, and gardeners waste time and money planting wrong cultivars that don't thrive in their climate or produce the expected results.
