10. Segment Information

Prior to the decision to divest our Fresh Cut business (formerly RFG), the Company’s Prepared reporting segment included the Fresh Cut business unit and our Guacamole business. As a result of the divestiture, the Fresh Cut business unit is no longer included in our Prepared business segment and is not included in the tables below. All segment information included herein reflects these changes. See Note 16 for further information.

We report our operations in two different business segments: Grown and Prepared. The Grown segment consists of fresh avocados, tomatoes and papayas. The Prepared segment consists of our guacamole products sold to retailers and foodservice companies as well as avocado pulp sold to foodservice companies. These two business segments are presented based on how information is used by our Chief Executive Officer to measure performance and allocate resources. 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, cost of sales, and gross profit by segment (in thousands):
