The Company operates in three segments, Agriculture, Industry and Human. The Agriculture segment consists of the parent company, Evogene, Evogene’s subsidiary AgPlenus Ltd. and the continued operation of Lavie Bio Ltd.

Each segment’s performance is determined based on operating loss reported in the financial statements. The results of a segment reported to the CODM include items attributed directly to a segment, as well as other items, which are indirectly attributed using reasonable assumptions.
