Segment Information
 
The Company manages its business on the basis of
three
reportable segments — the primary segment is the packaging and sale of fruits and vegetables, secondarily, the packaging and sale of prepared food products, third, the sale of snack products and finally, other products. The prepared foods segment is new and resulted from the acquisition of Truitt Bros., Inc. The Company markets its product almost entirely in the United States. Export sales represented
6.9%,
7.6%,
and
8.5%
of total sales in
2018,
2017,
and
2016,
respectively. In
2018,
2017,
and
2016,
the sale of Green Giant vegetables accounted for
9%,
11%,
and
12%
of net sales, respectively. “Other” in the table below represents activity related to can sales, trucking, seed sales, and flight operations.  Segments are identified based the products produced, size and some other minor factors.  Operating income is a measure used regularly by the chief operating decision maker.
