Such successful experiences may serve as a reference point for designing public policy proposals, and act as a stimulus for producers in other regions, demonstrating that “it is possible to get ahead with one's own effort” and belief in one's peers, obtaining support from public and international entities that can provide advice in important fields for the organization’s performance, and continuously improving bargaining capacities with clients.
