It probably comes down to the difficulty of of transport. We have a local fruit in the Eastern US, the Pawpaw. It's a fantastic fruit and has a history of cultivation in the area. But, it does not transport well and has to be eaten pretty quickly after they ripen. So, it's not a wide commercial success.
