Why is it feminine?

Produção is feminine because it derives from Latin "productio" (the act of producing), which belonged to the third declension feminine nouns ending in "-io/-ionis," a pattern that regularly became feminine "-ção" words in Portuguese. This Latin feminine gender was preserved through the regular sound changes that transformed "-tio" into the modern Portuguese "-ção" suffix, which is consistently feminine.
