Past and present tense as well as SVA

Hi, I would like to ask 2 questions.The first one would be on the use of present/tense tense. The second one is one SVA.

Local companies, which depended on overseas labor markets to run their factories, produce a distant rapport with their subordinates.

Do I use depend/depended.
I use depended because it has happened.

Do I use produce/produced? I am not sure over this answer?

If present tense is being used, the verb would be in plural form because of the subject(local companies).

Thanks!

Cheers,
JenniferUnagi:D

Hello, Jennifer. If they still depend, use 'depend'; if they no longer depend, use 'depended'.
