How to use 增产
增产 is common in news, economics and farming reports about factories, harvests and energy output. It often works as a verb and can be followed by a percentage or amount. Example: 今年粮食增产了百分之五。(Jīnnián liángshi zēngchǎn le bǎi fēn zhī wǔ.) This year grain output rose by five percent.
增 (zēng) means to add more, as in 增加 (zēngjiā), and 产 (chǎn) means to produce, as in 生产 (shēngchǎn). Put them together and you get "add to what is produced," which means to increase production.
Common mistake: Learners sometimes write 增产 when they mean the general idea of increasing something, like 增加收入 (zēngjiā shōurù) to increase income. 增产 is only about output of goods or crops, so do not use it for people, money or feelings.
