Purely a guess :
Marketing -- trying to keep the product small, in fresh batches, and sold by smaller distributors that can be controlled. Also pricing and discounts could be a factor.
Remember both AG and Z would want to make a profit, and offering the forum discounts is something most manufacturers need to come to term with as their other distributors are likely to complain they cannot sell that low and keep their overhead. Could AG sell enough for Z to make profit and cover any lost sales from a smaller distributor that cancelled his next order ?? Likely but a leap of faith for the manufacturer.
