"Produce" is means neutral, but that had to be reserved for vegetables and fruit only - things which are grown, while the "handmake" had to be extended to "...or by machinery". Doesn't make sense, but then nobody even notices that manu- is there for "manually", "by hand", even though there are manuscripts, manumissions and manuals.
