This is true for almost all modern fruit and vegetables. The varieties you can buy in most supermarkets have been selected for yield, hardiness in the field, and ability to be transported. Unless the farmer is niche, flavor doesn't even come into play as a factor.

Add to that fact that transportation now includes going halfway across the world because consumers want the fruit available all year long, and that makes things even more complicated.
