Are retailers locking long-term prices again, or still shopping around batch by batch?

With market prices continuing to fluctuate, many retailers are rethinking their purchasing strategies.
Some dispensaries are returning to long-term supply contracts to stabilize costs and ensure consistency,
while others prefer to buy batch by batch, taking advantage of short-term deals and market dips.

This shift highlights how each retailer balances cost stability, flexibility, and supply reliability in an unpredictable market.
