“特産 and 名産” mean “Local speciality or speciality” and which has been used as the meaning of “a product that is extremely good in a particular place”. The basic way to use it is “AはBの特産品/名産品だ。(A is a local speciality in B.)”, etc. For instance, “いちごは東京の特産品/名産品だ。(Strawberries are the local speciality in Tokyo.), etc. The tips for using them are that basically “特産 and 名産” are the same. However, they have the subtle differences which are that “特産” means “a product that is extremely good in a particular place” and “名産” means “a product which is FAMOUS and that is extremely good in a particular place”, so, “名” of “名産” means “name” which is used as the meaning of “well-known”. Otherwise, “特” of “特産” is “special”. Thus, “名産” is equal to “特産 + famous”. Furthermore, “特産 and 特産品” or “名産品” is the same usage, however, basically we tend to use “特産” is “Local specialities” and “特産” means “A local speciality”. Everybody could use these both in daily conversations as casual and in business situations as formal, such as “いちごは東京の特産品/名産品だよ。(Strawberries are the local speciality in Tokyo.)” as casual and “いちごは東京の特産品/名産品です。(Strawberries are the local speciality in Tokyo.) as polite and lastly, “いちごは東京の特産品/名産品となります。(Strawberries are the local speciality in Tokyo.) as formal.
