Answer 1

Have little loyalty to their vendors.

Step-by-step explanation:

Middlemen are intermediaries that buy goods from the producers and sell directly to the consumers. They assist the producers to get different feedbacks about the products from the consumer. Middlemen include wholesalers, retailers, brokers.

In some situations, middlemen increase the prices of various products thereby making it difficult for consumers to purchase, they also have little loyalty to the producers of a particular product they tend to purchase the product when there is high productivity but reject it when productivity reduces.
