Crossword Genius

With export knowledge, evidently, family produces fine paper (9)

I believe the answer is:

onionskin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'paper' is the definition.
(type of thin paper)

'with export knowledge evidently family produces fine' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'family' could be 'kin' (synonyms) and 'kin' is present in the answer.
'produces' could be 'onions' (onion is a kind of produce) and 'onions' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for onionskin that I've seen is " Very thin variety of paper".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
