HarryT, I know for a fact here in the US, all the BIG retailers and grocery stores make the deals with the manufacturer or the name on the label.. Now most BIG retailers have distribution centers.
Now on canned vegetables, there are very few growers. They are processed by names. Example Green Giant pays more for the first choice. Then the store brands, then the off brands.
Although I think Walmart gets first choice too because on some things they are better than the name brands.
