All producers are removed.
All producers are removed.

Answer
If all producers are removed from an ecosystem, then there will be no food for the primary consumers. All the primary consumers will be wiped out because of starvation. This will leave no food for secondary and tertiary consumers and they will also be finished in due course of time. This will be the end of the ecosystem.
