'locally-produced' originates from the combination of 'local' and 'produce,' where 'local' meant 'pertaining to a particular place' and 'produce' meant 'to bring forth or yield.'

'locally-produced' evolved from the concept of 'local production,' emphasizing the importance of regional manufacturing and sourcing.

Initially, it meant 'produced in a specific area,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
