How does McDonalds BENEFIT its suppliers?

Question

Dont want any rants about how they make people fat etc. Please because its the consumers choice to eat their or not and they just need someone to blame for putting on weight and its not going to be themselves!!!!

Answer 1

They can offer long term commitments that make it easier for the suppliers to plan their production. For example they will contract to buy an entire potato crop from farmers who grow the varieties that they want for their french fries. Then they will take delivery from storage over most of the year.
