The tag produce=* is used to describe a feature's output produced though a natural process of growing or breeding, possibly with human intervention; e.g., provision of water, planting, etc. This tag must be associated with a suitable physical feature where it is produced. Typically these features are landuse=* such as landuse=farmland, landuse=orchard or landuse=aquaculture.
Produce or product, disambiguation
A guide by example. If the whole live animal/fish or plant is sold from the 'farm' then tag it as produce=*. If it is killed and then sold with little processing then that is OK for tagging as produce. If the processing is 'extensive' then it is a product=* not produce, so it should use the product=* key. Fuzzy like life. Use your judgement.
If the output of the feature is is man made or manufactured in a factory or part of industrial production the product=* tag should be used.
In some cases the key produce=* is used with shop=farm or similar shops which sell raw farm produce (e.g. berries or fruits from the local farm or a stall directly on the field), however, product=* may be more appropriate if the goods are processed and transported.
Similar tags
- crop=* more frequently used for agricultural crops grown on cultivated land, such as grains and annual row crops.
- trees=* more frequently used to specify the type of trees or shrubs in an orchard.
- aquaculture=* more frequently used to specify the type of organism in landuse=aquaculture.
- animal=*, livestock=*, and animal_keeping=* are also used to specify the type of livestock or animal in a landuse=farmyard or landuse=meadow feature.
- product=* - for manufactured or processed products.
Tagging
These are non-physical characteristics and must be added to a node or area which is also tagged with a physical feature tag; for example, landuse=farmyard, landuse=forestry, landuse=forest
Multiple values
Where multiple values should be entered use a semicolon as a separator e.g. produce=wheat;barley. This allows for farm rotation practices without burdening OSM or mappers with constant updates.
shop
The use of this tag on some selling points like shop=farm is contested. Strictly a shop does not 'produce', it 'sells', it is the farm that produces. However there is no other documented tag available to say what produce a shop 'sells'.
Rendering
If there is need to render this tag which seems unlikely it would seem a better idea to render based on the value rather than a general icon based on the key.
Alternative is to render a transparent overlay based on the value of this key over the physical feature rendering, this has been used in some of the tables below in suggested rendering column.

Some of these have been gathered from taginfo use.
