Conclusion

From the Paper:

"Kudler currently does not have a policy or system that utilizes contracts with suppliers. Kathy and her assistant tailor generic forms to specify agreements with current suppliers. Organic producers want to implement contracts, so that they can have some certainty regarding where their produce is sold. Kudler should consider the fact that a contract is a legally binding agreement between themselves and the local growers of organic growers; and should not be treated lightly (Barnes et al, 2003, p 222)."
