Bunge Limited Announces Pricing of Offering of Common Shares


WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., May 26, 2004 -- Bunge Limited (NYSE: BG - News) announced
today the pricing of its offering of 8,500,000 of its common shares at a price
to the public of $35.20 per share. All shares are being offered by Bunge. The
net proceeds of the offering to Bunge will be approximately $287 million. In
addition, the underwriters have been granted an option to purchase a maximum of
1,275,000 additional shares to cover over-allotments, if any. Credit Suisse
First Boston and Morgan Stanley acted as joint lead managers for the offering.

Bunge intends to use approximately $283 million of the proceeds from this
offering to buy back the minority interest in Bunge Brasil S.A., its publicly
traded Brazilian subsidiary, pursuant to a previously announced tender offer in
Brazil. The remaining net proceeds from the offering will be used for general
corporate purposes, including acquisitions, capital expenditures and working
capital purposes.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an
offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these common shares in any
jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful
prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such
jurisdiction.

This offering of the shares of common stock may be made only by means of a
prospectus, copies of which can be obtained from Credit Suisse First Boston,
Prospectus Department, One Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10010 (telephone:
212-325-2580) or by faxing requests to 212-325-8057.
