Pear, Pera, Pyrus communis , Груша

There are 30 different species in genus Pyrus, with over 3000 cultivars grown today. Pear species are  natives of  many regions of the Old World,  domesticated by Ancient Chinese  3-4 000 years ago. About 2000 years ago, Romans knew over 20 varieties of pears.
Pears, according to Homer, are "gifts of the Gods"  and have been an important crop in Roman empire.
They are rich in vitamin C and dietary fiber, thus reducing your chances to develop a cancer, especially colon cancer, and some other really nasty  cancers  further down of digestive tract.
In 2009,  over 22 460 529 tons of pears were produced, leaving you as a potential consumer  with 3.3 kg of pears for that year. That's about 1 medium sized pear every 20 days or so for every human on Earth.
World production of pears  grew continuously since 1991. Since 1961, it grew over 431%. Land usage grew 317%. Crop of 2009 was the biggest pear crop ever.
World crop of pears  of 2009 could supply  over 18.53 million people with 2000 calories a day. It had enough protein for 7.4 million people at 50 g per day.
Pear trees are using over  1.02% of  all permanent crop land in the world.
Biggest producer  of pears is China, with  14 416 450 tons produced in 2009 (over 65% of the world production). However some of the Chinese orchards polluted so much that  farmers  have to pollinate their trees by hand, all other pollinators, bees and local bugs, died off awhile ago. Beware of Chinese pears, I'd say.
Biggest producer per capita is Argentina with about 17.5 kg of pears per person produced as of 2009.
Chile is close to Argentina  by it's importance in pear business, also it is a major exporter.
Average world's yield is 14.2 tons of pears per hectare. Over the last 50 years, average yields grew about 40-50%.

Record yield, according to fao.org, belongs to Switzerland,  378.2 tonnes per hectare (1967). Now that's a lot of pears if you ask me.

Rice, Arroz, Oryza Sativa

Rice  was domesticated around  10-8 000 BC in Yangze river valley. Today, its the second crop in the world by volume (after maize). In 2009,  678 688 289 + tons of rice were produced by 128 countries. That leaves you as a potential consumer with 99.6 kg, or almost 219 pounds of rice per year (of 2009).

 Such amount would last you  over 182 days at 2000 calories a day. Crop of 2009 could feed  almost 3.4 billion people through an entire year at 2000 calories a day. Protein content  could provide 50 g a day to 2.6 billion people.

 Update 2010 : 115 countries produced  672 015 587 tons of rice, or 97.8 kg  per potential consumer.
Biggest producer is China with 197 212 010 tons in 2010.
Biggest producer per capita is Burma, with 621.3 kg produced in 2010.
Biggest exporter is Thailand, 8.5 million tons are expected to be exported in 2010. Thai rice costs $500-600 per ton.  Rough rice in Chicago  costs  $14.15 for 100 lbs as of today.

Best crop ever was in  2008,  685 874 696 tonnes. Worst, since 1961--215.65 million tonnes in 1961.
Best worldwide yields were in 2008, 4306.8 kg/ha. Worst, since 1961-- 1869.2 kg/ha in 1961.
Record yield  belongs to Egypt, 10 075 kg/ha in 2006.

World crop costs around  $240-260 billion dollars.

Land usage : 161 420 743 hectares were used for rice production in 2009, a territory slightly smaller than Iran, more than ever before. That is over 10.25% of all arable land in the world, and significantly higher % for irrigated land.

Over 17.5 million tonnes of rice were used for seeds in 2009.

Potatoes, Solanum tuberosum

Genetic tests show that potato-farming started between 3000BC and 2000BC in Peru. To this day this crop is of utter importance to Peruvians, as each consumes on the average 530 potatoes per year. Potato is a number 4 crop worldwide, after  wheat, rice, and maize.  China was the biggest producer, (over) 69 059 652 tonnes produced in 2009. China increased its potatoes production over 5 times compared with 1961, and they've been a leading producer at least since the fall of Soviet Union in 1991.
Major producer and major consumer per capita is Belarus, they produced 751 kg, or  1667 pounds per capita  in 2009. Average Belorussian (yes, including babies) eats 381-400 kg of potatoes per year. 1.85%  of Belarusian territory is used for potato farming, which is also a record.
In 2009 ,  329 556 911 tons were produced worldwide.  If we 'd put 1-foot deep sacks of potatoes with this crop together, it would cover  a field 248 miles long and 10 miles wide.
  It comes out to  48.4 kg , or 107.5 pounds of potatoes  per potential consumer of 2009. If you would decide to eat nothing but your "share" of potatoes, it would last you over 18 days at 2000 calories per day.
Worldwide, potatoes can feed  348.4 million people for an entire year , or an entire population of United States,  Saudi  Arabia and Barbados combined. There is  enough protein for 360 million people.
In 2009, 18 326 242+ hectares were under potato production. That's a territory slighter smaller than Syria, and slightly larger than Cambodia or North Dakota. It is also almost 1.17% of all arable land in the world.

Best crop world wide was in 2004,  336.25 million tonnes, worst, since 1961-- in 1980, 240.46 million tonnes.
Best yields world wide were in 2008, 18 004.7 kg/hectare , worst, since 1961--12 216.6  kg/ha  ( 1961)
Record yield belongs to Belgium,  over 49.1 tonnes per hectare (1993)

Land usage : today  we use about 82%  of what we used  in 1961.

Seeds:  about 32.1 million tonnes of potatoes were used as seeds.

World crop is estimated to be $60-70 billion worth.
