Is this sentence correct too?

Well, produce refers to agricultural products, especially fruits and vegetables.
The word products describes all the articles you can buy in a supermarket - food as well as non food.

[Katarzyna]

Thanks Torsten. It makes sense to me now. My answer would suggest that most of the items sold at the supermarket are imported, what is usually not true.

In the given sentence, 'fruit' is singular while 'vegetables' is plural, do we normally address them that way? Is 'fruits' incorrect?

[Mister Micawber]

'Fruit' is the usual plural. 'Fruits' is specifically used when we are discussing the varieties and differentiating them.
