Equity Method Investments As of October 3, 2021, we had a 50% ownership interest in Tata Starbucks Limited (India), which operates licensed Starbucks® retail stores. Prior to its divestiture in September 2021, we had a 50% ownership interest in Starbucks Coffee Korea Co., Ltd. Additional disclosure regarding changes in our equity method investments due to acquisition or divestiture is included in Note 2, Acquisitions, Divestitures and Strategic Alliance. We also license the rights to produce and distribute Starbucks-branded products to our 50% owned joint venture, The North American Coffee Partnership with the Pepsi-Cola Company, which develops and distributes bottled Starbucks® beverages, including Frappuccino® coffee drinks, Starbucks Doubleshot® espresso drinks, Starbucks® Iced Espresso Classics and Starbucks® Iced Coffee. Our share of income and losses from our equity method investments is included in income from equity investees on our consolidated statements of earnings. Also included in this line item is our proportionate share of gross profit resulting from coffee and other product sales to, and royalty and license fee revenues generated from, equity investees. Revenues generated from these entities were $160.8 million, $123.9 million and $130.7 million in fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Related product and distribution costs were $92.1 million, $79.8 million and $73.2 million in fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of October 3, 2021 and September 27, 2020, there were $7.9 million and $28.7 million of accounts receivable from equity investees, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets, primarily related to product sales and royalty revenues. Additionally, we hold equity interests in other entities to support our corporate and investment strategies. The related financial statements activities were not material during the periods presented. Other Investments We have equity interests in entities that develop and operate Starbucks licensed stores in several global markets, as well as in companies that support our strategic initiatives. We do not have significant influence over these entities and their fair values are not readily determinable. Therefore, we elected to measure these investments at cost with adjustments for observable changes in price or impairment.
