Is it correct grammar?

The supplier have signed contract and produced certain quantity for the next 3 years.

Thanks a lot my friend.

canada The supplier have signed a contract and produced a certain quantity for the next 3 years. Can I use for the next 3 years with present perfect tense? In this case, yes, because the "next three years" do not indicate when the action ("producing a certain quantity") took place, but rather the time extent during which it will have an effect.

So the contract does not require the producer to produce anything during the next three years?
