Now some grocery stores do buy acres of produce. I know HEB does. Actually they buy entire crops. Poteet strawberries and Fredericksburg peaches come to mind.
Popcorn is the same way except Orville Redenbacher. He has his own fields.

Well that's more than I know but it is likely that many brand names are derived from a few companies even if the brand names ship first. And of course at least part of the cost difference is probably due to the name on the product. Either because the brand comes out first or just because of the name itself.
