​ Certain members of our Board of Directors market California avocados through Calavo pursuant to marketing agreements substantially similar to the marketing agreements that we enter into with other growers. For the three months ended January 31, 2022, the aggregate amount of avocados procured from entities owned or controlled by members of our Board of Directors was $0.2 million. There were no avocados procured from entities owned or controlled by members of our Board of directors for the three months ended January 31, 2021. Amounts payable to these Board members were $0.2 million as of January 31, 2022. We did not have any amounts payable to these Board members as of October 31, 2021. ​ During the three months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, we received $0.1 million as dividend income from Limoneira Company (Limoneira). In addition, we lease office space from Limoneira for our corporate office. We paid rent expense to Limoneira totaling $0.1 million for the three months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021. Harold Edwards, who resigned as a member of our Board of Directors in February 2022, is the Chief Executive Officer of Limoneira Company. As of January 31, 2022, we own approximately 9% of Limoneira’s outstanding shares. In February 2022, Limoneira ended its marketing agreement with Calavo. The termination of this agreement is not expected to have a significant effect on either sales or results of operations. ​ Calavo and Agricola Belher (“Belher”) have an equal one-half ownership interest in Agricola Don Memo, S.A. de C.V.

As of January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, we had outstanding advances of $4.2 million and $4.2 million to Don Memo. In October 2020, we entered into an infrastructure loan agreement with Don Memo for up to $2.4 million secured by certain property and equipment of Don Memo.

In October 2020, we funded $0.7 million related to this loan agreement, and we funded an additional $0.7 million, and $0.6 million in the first, and second quarters of fiscal 2021, for a total outstanding balance at January 31, 2022 of $2.0 million ($0.4 million is included in prepaids and other current assets and $1.6 million in other assets). This infrastructure loan agreement will mature in fiscal 2024. During the three months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, we incurred $3.4 million and $3.5 million of cost of sales to Don Memo pursuant to our purchase consignment agreement. ​ We make advances to Belher for operating purposes, provide additional advances as shipments are made during the season, and return the proceeds from tomato sales under our marketing program to Belher, net of our commission and aforementioned advances. We had grower advances due from Belher totaling $4.5 million and $4.5 million as of January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, which are netted against the grower payable. In addition, we had infrastructure advances due from Belher of $0.9 million as of January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021. These infrastructure advances were recorded as a receivable in prepaid and other current assets as of January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021.

(“Avocados de Jalisco”). Avocados de Jalisco is a Mexican corporation created to engage in procuring, packing and selling avocados. As of January 31, 2022, this entity was approximately 83% owned by Calavo and was consolidated in our financial statements.
