An expanding producer (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grower

'producer' is the definition.
(grower is a kind of producer)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for grower that I've seen before include "Produce provider" , "One cultivating plants" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
