&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sections 29 and 30 of the bye-laws of the Registrant provide, in part, that the Registrant
shall indemnify its directors, secretary and officers from and against all actions, costs, charges, losses,
damages and expenses which they may incur in the performance of their duties as director, secretary or officer,
provided that such indemnification does not extend to any matter in respect of any fraud or dishonesty which may
attach to any such persons.  Section 98 of the Companies Act 1981, as amended, of Bermuda permits a company to
indemnify a director or officer against any liability incurred by him in defending any proceedings, whether civil
or criminal, in which judgment is given in his favor or in which he is acquitted or when he is relieved from
liability by the court under Section 281 of the Companies Act 1981.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant maintains standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (a) to
its directors, secretary or officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other
wrongful act, and (b) to the Registrant with respect to payments which may be made by the Registrant to such
directors, secretary and officers pursuant to the above indemnification provision on otherwise as a matter of law.</FONT></P>

Registration Statement on Form F-1 (Registration No. 333-65026), as originally filed under the Securities Act on

The undersigned Registrant hereby further undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and, where applicable, each filing of the Plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) under the Exchange Act, that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.   In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by
it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have acted as counsel to Bunge Limited, a Bermuda limited liability company ("the Company"), in
connection with its filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), relating to 1,750,000 Common Shares (the "Shares"), par
value $0.01 per share, of the Company that may be sold pursuant to the Bunge North America, Inc. Profit Sharing
Plan, the Bunge Management Services Inc. Savings Plan and the Bunge North America, Inc. Savings Plan (the
"Plans"), including 1,750,000 Series A Preference Share Purchase Rights attached to the Shares, and an
indeterminate number of interests in the Plans (the "Interests").</FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise, identified to our satisfaction, of such
documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as we deemed necessary for
the purposes of the opinion expressed herein.  We have assumed (i) the genuineness of all signatures on all
documents examined by us, (ii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (iii) the
conformity to authentic originals of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, and (iv)
the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Interests have been duly authorized and upon
issuance, delivery and payment therefor, in accordance with the terms of the Plans and any relevant agreements
thereunder, will be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.</FONT></P>
