Bi-PA develops biological plant protection products that can be used for the control of pests and disease of agricultural crops. As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s ownership position in Bi-PA was 15%.

The Company periodically reviews the investment for possible impairment. There was no impairment or observable price changes on the investment during the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020.
