vegetables – meats, grains, oats, etc. are also sometimes considered produce. More specifically, the term "produce" often implies that the products are and generally in the same state as where they were
harvested. In
supermarkets the term is also used to refer to the section where fruit and vegetables are kept. Produce is the main product sold by
greengrocers,
farmers' markets, and fruit markets. The term "produce" is commonly used in the U.S. but is not typically used outside the agricultural sector in other English-speaking countries.
