John, there is fairly reliable data available per country and for some countries, per region of fruits (and agriculture in general) produced, and then broken into local consumption and export. It is measured in metric tonnes. Import data is also available, though less reliable.

Looking at the data, you'll find fruits you might never have encountered before! For example, the Borojo is in the top 5 of fruits produced, consumed, and exported in Columbia and Venezuela.
