Now, and habits. produis covers both "I produce" and "I am produceing" — French has no separate continuous form.
A completed past action. avoir conjugates and produit does not — ai produit.
An ongoing or habitual past. Built on the nous-present stem, so produisons gives you produisais.
About to happen. aller conjugates; produire never moves — the easier future to produce under pressure.
Will happen. Built on produir-, which is just the infinitive, so only the endings are new.

What this table tells you about produire
The past participle is produit, and it takes avoir in the passé composé — so it never changes shape, whoever the subject is. No agreement to remember here.
The futur simple is built on produir-, which is just the infinitive — the endings are the whole story, nothing new to learn for this tense.
In the present, je, tu and il/elle are one sound: produis, produit — indistinguishable spoken. Only nous, vous and ils/elles carry an audible ending.
The imparfait is built on the nous-present stem, so once you know produisons you already know produisais, produisait and produisaient. Futur proche keeps produire untouched.
