This question is off topic for the pgsql-admin list, it should have been
asked on the pgsql-sql list because it was a question about SQL. (I probably
wouldn't have said anything if it had been posted to the pgsql-general
or pgsql-novice lists, but it is definitely not a question even remotely
related to postgres administration.)

Use GROUP BY item_product_name and sum(item_qty). Something like:

SELECT item_product_name, sum(item_qty) AS item_qty_total
  FROM tbl_a
  GROUP BY item_product_name
  ORDER BY item_product_name
;
