Giving up producing (8)
I believe the answer is:
yielding
This clue is a double definition.
'giving up' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'producing' is the second definition.
(yielding is a kind of producing)
(Other definitions for yielding that I've seen before include "Producing, delivering" , "Amenable" , "Bearing" , "Backing down" , "compliant" .)
