                       Bunge Announces Delisting of Cereol

WHITE PLAINS, NY - April 9, 2003 - Bunge Limited (NYSE: BG) today announced that
as a result of a squeeze out completed today, it now owns 100% of Cereol S.A.,
and that Cereol has been delisted from the Premier Marche of Euronext Paris.

Bunge acquired a 55% stake in Cereol from Edison S.p.A. on October 15, 2002. In
accordance with French law, the company then launched on November 8 a standing
offer (garantie de cours) for all outstanding shares of Cereol. Through the
standing offer, which closed on November 28, Bunge acquired additional shares,
bringing its total holdings to 97.38% of the capital and voting rights of
Cereol. As permitted by French law, because Bunge had acquired more than 95% of
the voting rights in Cereol, Bunge launched a minority buyout offer for the
Cereol shares that remained outstanding, followed by the squeeze out of any
remaining shares and the delisting of the shares.

The acquisition of Cereol made Bunge the world's leading oilseed processor,
expanded the company's operations in key geographic regions, including Europe
and North America, and added new offerings to its product portfolio.
