Tension between the concept of local goods and global goods?

The following sentence is trite as the sentiment is so often expressed but got to say it: Like with many if not all things there are good aspects and bad aspects and it is certainly so with the issue of globalization-- global trade to be exact.

For example:

Your local mangoes come from Ecuador

Your tomatoes come from Mexico

Your pears come from Chile and New Zealand

But it goes both ways. They accept many goods from the US that the countries most likely could produce themselves. Again this goes both ways. Globalization or global trade isn't exactly a recent phenomena. It's a concept that's been ongoing for centuries. 

One of the reasons the Renaissance was allowed to happen was due to trade and migration and exchange of goods and ideas. 

Renaissance Trade Routes. This is mainly an outline of Italian trade routes and does not include other countries/empires such as the Netherlands. A popular trade good at the time was spices--cloves, cinnamon, etc as well as Tulips. Tulip bulbs is a whole other story. An entire economy became crippled due to Tulip mania during the Renaissance. 

Food during the Renaissance. On the right is cinnamon which was usually traded all the way from Ceylon to Europe.

But the concept that certain goods could only be made or grown in a specific region was more rigid hundreds perhaps even decades ago, this idea isn't as rigid now. With closer study people know what type of conditions is best to grow coffee, to grow bananas, to grow grapes for wine-making, to grow tobacco, and on and on.

Maybe due to my part-time upbringing in Hawaii and the presence of Dole Plantation I always had the idea that pineapples could only be grown in Hawaii but I saw locally grown pineapples sold in India by street vendors as well as guava. With the right conditions and perhaps with the aid of technology both ancient and recent just about anything could be grown in your backyard. 

But how do we translate this to the larger economy to the local communities that rely on cultivating foods for global trade to the communities that rely on the prices determined by the markets (both in the sense of economy and your local grocery market)? Could these communities survive without globalization? Or have we helped create communities that entirely rely on international trade for survival? Did globalization kill innovation of certain crops within countries? Did we kill enterprise such as a farmer asking himself what will set my coffee apart from everyone else?
