Information regarding our operations in different segments
2. Information regarding our operations in different segments
     We report our operations in two different business segments: Fresh products and Calavo Foods. These two business segments are presented based on how information is used by our Chief Executive Officer to measure performance and allocate resources. The Fresh products segment includes all operations that involve the distribution of avocados and other fresh produce products. The Calavo Foods segment represents all operations related to the purchase, manufacturing, and distribution of prepared products, including guacamole, tortilla chips, salsa, fresh-cut fruit, ready-to-eat vegetables, recipe-ready vegetables and deli meat products. Additionally, selling, general and administrative expenses, as well as other non-operating income/expense items, are evaluated by our Chief Executive Officer in the aggregate. We do not allocate assets, or specifically identify them to, our operating segments. The following table sets forth sales by product category, by segment (in thousands):
