"The interaction of the company with the other actors involved in the production and commercialisation supports the generation of transparent relationships that facilitate negotiations. It is extremely important that actors along the
value chain are well-informed on detail of production and commercialisation processes. This allows for the equitable sharing of benefits as actors can evaluate their contributions in creating value, providing them with a solid footing for negotiations."
