Yorkshire produce an encouragement for Arab? (6,4)

I believe the answer is:

riding crop

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

'an encouragement for arab?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'yorkshire produce' is the wordplay.
'yorkshire' becomes 'riding' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'produce' becomes 'crop' (I've seen this in another clue).
'riding'+'crop'='RIDING CROP'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for riding crop that I've seen is " Whip up".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
